Javascript - Help changing code

this isn't the full code.. i'm not including the class with all the bbtags

here is how the function for image tag is called with onclick=changeImage();


Code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
function changeImage(){

   var newtext = "<img></img>";
   document.changer.reply.value += newtext;
}
</script>


how do i change it so whatever the selected text is it wraps the tag around it? .. like on this forum

you can use string.selectionStart and string.selectionEnd to get the start and end positions of a selection then use substring to chop the string up and get the before selection, selection and after selection then put them back together with the tag around the selection. here is a simple example.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var doSomething = function(){
    var ele = document.getElementById("test");
    var tagStart = '<b>';
    var tagEnd = '</b>';
    if(ele.selectionStart==ele.selectionEnd){
        //nothing selected put the tag at the end of the textarea
        ele.value += tagStart+tagEnd;
    } else {
        ele.value = ele.value.substring(0, ele.selectionStart)
            +tagStart
            +ele.value.substring(ele.selectionStart, ele.selectionEnd)
            +tagEnd
            +ele.value.substring(ele.selectionEnd);
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="test">this is some text</textarea>
<input type='button' onclick='doSomething();' id='submitButton' value='GO' />
</body>
</html>
