above example works for me with IE6, but there is another example at:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32317&page=3
this works with IE6 and FireFox
code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setSelectionRange(input, selectionStart, selectionEnd) {
if (input.setSelectionRange) {
input.focus();
input.setSelectionRange(selectionStart, selectionEnd);
}
else if (input.createTextRange) {
var range = input.createTextRange();
range.collapse(true);
range.moveEnd('character', selectionEnd);
range.moveStart('character', selectionStart);
range.select();
}
}
function replaceSelection (input, replaceString) {
if (input.setSelectionRange) {
var selectionStart = input.selectionStart;
var selectionEnd = input.selectionEnd;
input.value = input.value.substring(0, selectionStart)+ replaceString + input.value.substring(selectionEnd);
if (selectionStart != selectionEnd){
setSelectionRange(input, selectionStart, selectionStart + replaceString.length);
}else{
setSelectionRange(input, selectionStart + replaceString.length, selectionStart + replaceString.length);
}
}else if (document.selection) {
var range = document.selection.createRange();
if (range.parentElement() == input) {
var isCollapsed = range.text == '';
range.text = replaceString;
if (!isCollapsed) {
range.moveStart('character', -replaceString.length);
range.select();
}
}
}
}
// We are going to catch the TAB key so that we can use it, Hooray!
function catchTab(item,e){
if(navigator.userAgent.match("Gecko")){
c=e.which;
}else{
c=e.keyCode;
}
if(c==9){
replaceSelection(item,String.fromCharCode(9));
setTimeout("document.getElementById('"+item.id+"').focus();",0);
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<textarea name="data" id="data" rows="20" columns="35" wrap="off" onkeydown="return catchTab(this,event)" ></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</html>
