Sorry, I beg to differ again.

I just uploaded that code I posted to here -> http://www.ls3k.com/Random/test.html

It works both in IE6 and Mozilla Firebird 0.7 which are the two browsers I have installed. If you dont believe me try it.

I'm only saying that Mozilla has the functionality, I'm not saying its a problem that it hasn't been implmented in Snitz. (Though I would very much like to see it added, as would many other Mozilla users.)

just tried that page in IE6 and it inserts the text at the end, not where the cursor is.

   var s3 = (txtarea.value).substring(selEnd, selLength);

   return;

         caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ?   text + ' ' : text; 
      }

      document.post.message.focus(caretPos); 
   } 
   else 
   { 
      mozAddText(document.post.message, text, '');

This looks to be moving toward a fix, that this bug/issue is screaming for!
