Is it possible to count the number of characters in a textarea right up until the cursor.

For example (|= cursor):

This is sample text in a| textarea.

----

In the above sentence the cursor is on the 24th position. Is it possible to calculate this using Javascript?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Remco
