Javascript plugin to get or set current caret position (cursor location) in textarea/input, to get selected value under textarea/input and replace selected value.

Hi Friends,

Here I come with my latest Javascript plugin(no jQuery! plain Javascript!!) it helps to get or set current caret position (cursor location) in textarea/input, to get selected value under textarea/input and replace selected value.

Why?
Sometimes we need to replace text selected under textarea or input with another text or wrap selected text with tags. There is no such cross browser solution available, this plugin helps to do so.

Check out demo page for more information.

There are more details on demo page, how to setup and use to make it fit in your requirements.
