Question

How can I insert text/code at the cursors place in a div created by NicEdit?

I’ve tried to read the documentation and create my own plugin, but I want it to work without the tool bar (Modal Window)

This is a quick solution and tested in firefox only. But it works and should be adaptable for IE and other browsers.

function insertAtCursor(editor, value){
    var editor = nicEditors.findEditor(editor);
    var range = editor.getRng();                    
    var editorField = editor.selElm();
    editorField.nodeValue = editorField.nodeValue.substring(0, range.startOffset) +
                            value +
                            editorField.nodeValue.substring(range.endOffset, editorField.nodeValue.length);
}
