I did it by getting the index in the textField, as you described, then looping through every character in the html and counting the characters that are not in tags. When (number of characters not in tags) == (the index in the textfield) then you have your index in the html. Mmmmmmmmmmm, nice!

Ok, but even doing that, you would have to use something like Selection.getCaretIndex() to know where in the Textfield you are so you can insert the <IMG> tag in the right place, but that wouldn't seem to work because in the tests I did it Selection.getCaretIndex() gives you the position in the string shown as it is in the textfield, not the HTML code. So the index # is way off because of the hidden HTML tags are counted. How would you know where in the HTML code (not in the rendered HTML) the user placed their caret so you can insert the IMG tag?
