Yup. Simple substring manipulation and resetting the selectionStart and selectionEnd will do it.

If I use selectionStart and SelectionEnd, it returns the positions of the start and end of the selection. Then how would I go about replacing the text in that range with what I want. Would I have to take the value of the whole textarea and do string manipulation then set the whole value over again?

Use selectionStart, selectionEnd and value.

In Midas use W3C ranges.

Does anyone know of a way to insert text inline in Mozilla (1.5+). For example if I have a textarea and I want to insert "Hello World" where the user's cursor is. Is this possible? If not, could there be a work-around using Midas?
