inserting text at cursor location

One of our developers used the RTE editor a couple of years ago for our online software.  He inserted a drop down box into the menu bar and when someone selected an option from the drop down, it copied it's value and pasted it where the cursor was in the RTE.  We are having more and more customers using netscape browsers which kills this functionality.  Does anyone know if there's a way to insert text at the cursor location without using the copy/paste functions of the browser?  Thanks.

Thanks.  I've been searching for most of the day for a way to do this and can't figure it out.  Do you have any code you could share?  I found this, but I can't get it to work (in firefox that is).

function insertAtCursor(myField, myValue) {
      //IE support
      if (document.selection) {
        myField.focus();
        sel = document.selection.createRange();
        sel.text = myValue;
      }
      //MOZILLA/NETSCAPE support
      else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == '0') {
        alert('moz');
        var startPos = myField.selectionStart;
        var endPos = myField.selectionEnd;
        myField.value = myField.value.substring(0, startPos)
                      + myValue
                      + myField.value.substring(endPos, myField.value.length);
      } else {
        myField.value += myValue;
      }
}

The latest version of the Web Wiz RTE already has a file called RTE_javascript_gecko.asp which contains javascript for inserting various objects, text, etc. into the caret location in Netscape/Gekco based browsers.

If you have a look in allot of the files it calls this function when using these browsers so you shoudl be able to see how it works.
