return this.each(function() { | |
var me = this; | |
if (document.selection) { // IE | |
me.focus(); | |
sel = document.selection.createRange(); | |
sel.text = myValue; | |

var startPos = me.selectionStart, endPos = me.selectionEnd, scrollTop = me.scrollTop; | |
me.value = me.value.substring(0, startPos) + myValue + me.value.substring(endPos, me.value.length); | |
me.focus(); | |

humor code ..ha
Maybe:
$.fn.insertAtCaret = function(myValue) {
if(undefined === myValue || null === myValue){
// or exception raised
return
}
Now sel
is added to the global scope window
outside of the function. Maybe add var
in front of the declaration at line 7:
var sel = document.selection.createRange();

Thanks for this. This is the only working
insertAtCaret
implementation that I could find that worked for me.
