Hi, I am trying to create an inplace editor on top of RichTextArea. It was easy to implement a basic functionality: I have a DeckPanel, which contains FocusPanel (which in turn contains HTML widget) and RichTextArea, when user clicks on FocusPanel RichTextArea is shown and focused. But here the problem arises: RichTextArea's caret appears at the beginning of the text, while I want it to appear where user clicked.
At first I thought that RichTextArea is implemented entirely in JS, so I can easily find a way to move caret. But I browsed GWT sources and then spent some time googling and it now appears to me that RichTextArea is implemented in a very tricky way, so it lacks API for caret control (everything is controlled entirely by browser). Then I thought that I can just fire a mouse click event or some how redirect mouse click from FocusPanel to RichTextArea, but unfortunately I could not find a way. In fact I found info about JS functions called dispatchEvent (fireEvent in IE); but I am not sure how to call them correctly from GWT. Any ideas? The problem seems solvable, because I saw that inplace editor in Google Notebook behaves correctly (caret is placed where user clicked). I am totally new to GWT and JS, so there is a possibility that I am missing something simple.
