help required with script.

[Bharathi Kattamuri]

Hi,

I have with javascript in a struts application.  I am trying to insert a 
text into a TextArea.    Somehow document.selection.createRange().text 
is not working. I am using IE6.0.29

Below is the code.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
  
   function addToMessageText(sendText){
      // alert("addToMessageText: "+ sendText);
       var selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text;
       alert("selectedText : "+ selectedText );
       if (selectedText != ""){
              document.selection.createRange().text = sendText ;
       }
   }

</script>

and calling the method from a button.  Somehow 
document.selection.createRange().text is not working.

<a class="linkButton"  onclick="addToMessageText('%%FIRSTNAME')" 
><bean:message key="label.firstname"/></a>

Any suggestions is appreciated.

Bharathi.
