javascript获取textarea光标选择位置和内容方法(IE, Firefox)

在网上用baidu找了很久，找到的都是IE的方法，Firefox都不能用。 而且很多要用到<textarea>.focus()方法，用起来很不方便。
后来转用Google，搜了下”textarea cursor”，第一个就有好方法。我根据最后一个家伙的comments，写了一个sample，应该还是挺好用的。

//如果是Firefox(1.5)的话，方法很简单
if(typeof(textBox.selectionStart) == “number”){
start = textBox.selectionStart;
end = textBox.selectionEnd;

//下面是IE(6.0)的方法，麻烦得很，还要计算上’\n’
else if(document.selection){
var range = document.selection.createRange();
if(range.parentElement().id == textBox.id){
// create a selection of the whole textarea
var range_all = document.body.createTextRange();
range_all.moveToElementText(textBox);
//两个range，一个是已经选择的text(range)，一个是整个textarea(range_all)
//range_all.compareEndPoints()比较两个端点，如果range_all比range更往左(further to the left)，则                //返回小于0的值，则range_all往右移一点，直到两个range的start相同。
// calculate selection start point by moving beginning of range_all to beginning of range
