Question

Is there a way to append a string in a specific offset position on an input? Suppose we have the following input :
an offset : <input type="text" value="abcdef"/>, the letter c is situated in the 3th offset of the input string value.

+————-+
123456789
+————-+
xxxxxxx->offset position

Let’s say I want to append the string “hi” in the 3th poistion of the input so it become :

+————-+
   hi
+————-+
123456789

How can I do that?

thanks.

You could very easily write your own function to do that.

function insertAt(src, index, str) {
    return src.substr(0, index) + str + src.substr(index)
}
alert(insertAt("test", 2, "FOO")); //Alerts teFOOst
