insert text into a textarea at cursor position

[ekaldany]

So it's pretty clear that this is achievable in a regular webpage with
a javascript function... but how do I insert text into a textarea at
cursor position in GWT?

We have it functional in all browsers except IE... it adds like 3000
character spaces and inserts the text in a random spot in the
textarea.

To explain the greater functionality here, the user is filling out a
form, then inserting portions of it via links of section names into
the text area to create a customized note.

Any help?

If you have the Javascript code, it's going to be pretty much the exact same code in GWT.

You should be able to do that with these methods from TextArea:

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/TextArea.html#getCursorPos()
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/TextBoxBase.html#setCursorPos(int)
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/TextBoxBase.html#setText(java.lang.String)

Thanks guys, I will study the links and post up if I continue to have
trouble.
