Getting Cursor Position (IE only)

[jaredn]

Me and my friend (erik arvidsson) came up with this. Just make sure you remember that if you click a button or soemthing, the cursor position is lost, so you need to do it onkeydown or something like that :

function getCursorPosition(obj)
{
var selrange,r;

selRange = document.selection.createRange();
r = obj.createTextRange();

if (!r.inRange(selRange)) return -1;

r.setEndPoint("endToEnd", selRange);
r.moveStart("textEdit", -1);

return r.text.length;
