I got it for firefox. Dont know how it will behave for internet
explorer. Still experimenting with things... this might help somebody
else. Or me too...
// Gets the selection-start (anchor) node. It is where the cursor
should be
native Node getAnchorNode(IFrameElement frame)
/*-{
return frame.contentWindow.getSelection().anchorNode;
}-*/;
// Gets the offset of selection start in the anchor node
native int getAnchorOffset(IFrameElement frame)
/*-{
return frame.contentWindow.getSelection().selection.anchorOffset;
}-*/;
// Gets the selection-end (focus) node
native Node getFocusNode(IFrameElement frame)
/*-{
return frame.contentWindow.getSelection().selection.focusNode;
}-*/;
// Gets the offset of selection end in focus node
native int getFocusOffset(IFrameElement frame)
/*-{
return frame.contentWindow.getSelection().selection.focusOffset;
}-*/;
Now where you need, use these methods like this:
IFrameElement ife = IFrameElement.as(richTextArea.getElement());
Node anchorNode = getAnchorNode(ife);
...

If someone could reply with Internet Explorer documentation link like
the above of mozilla, it would be great.
