Why is it that, whenever I click the spoiler button or quote button to insert the quote or spoiler tags, the tags always go to the end of my post, rather than to my cursor?

I'm looking at you Rich

IIRC, this question has been asked before, and the answer was something along the lines of "it's more complicated than you think". Just type a letter and highlight that before you push the spoiler/quote button.

It's pretty simple, just hasn't been done yet. It's on the todo list!

You can highlight text and then hit spoiler/quote though.

function getCaret(el) { 
  if (el.selectionStart) { 
    return el.selectionStart; 
  } else if (document.selection) { 
    el.focus(); 

    var r = document.selection.createRange(); 
    if (r == null) { 
      return 0; 
    } 

    var re = el.createTextRange(), 
        rc = re.duplicate(); 
    re.moveToBookmark(r.getBookmark()); 
    rc.setEndPoint('EndToStart', re); 

    return rc.text.length; 
  }  
  return 0; 
}

function addUBB_selected(a,d){var c=document.getElementById(a),b=c.scrollTop,f=c.scrollLeft,e=getUserSelection(c);if(e.length==0)c.value=c.value.substring(0,getCaret(c))+"["+d+"][/"+d+"]"+c.value.substring(getCaret(c));else setUserSelection(c,"["+d+"]"+e+"[/"+d+"]");c.scrollTop=b;c.scrollLeft=f}
