As I understand what you are asking:

You want to determine where in a text field (textarea) a user entered 
information:

   this is XXXXX text in to which...

where XXXXX is the text the user entered.

Unfortunately you can't really do this with normal means (JavaScript) 
on the client side.  JavaScript has an onSelect event handler (in 
some versions on some browsers), but it is not well implemented.

On the server-side you could compare before and after versions, but 
that gets messy if the user makes multiple insertions.

The easiest, most universal approach appears to be client-side 
Flash... (and it would be easier if Flash supported regexp).
