Need a working example on how to insert text at the cursor position in a html text area using jquery?

Question

Need a working code example on how to insert text at the cursor position in a html text area using jquery? Read somewhere there is a plugin to accomplish but not sure how plugins work.

What have you tried? What is the plugin called? A little more detail would go a long way. — James Khoury, Jul 03 '11 at 23:53
James Khoury, do you have a working example how to accomplish this? Any would do. — BWR, Jul 03 '11 at 23:57
