    Default HTML tags not working in Firefox

    Hi,

    I am not fluent in javascript at all, but I have this relatively simple program that works in Opera and IE, but not Firefox. Anyone have an idea on how the script can be altered to work in Firefox?

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
    function insertAtCursor(myField, myValue) {
      //IE support
      if (document.selection) {
        myField.focus();
        sel = document.selection.createRange();
        sel.text = myValue;
      }
    else 
    {
        myField.value += myValue;
      }</script>
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
    function saveCurRng() { 
    curRng = document.selection.createRange().duplicate(); 
    } 
    function surround(btag, etag){ 
    if (curRng) { 
    document.editform.article.focus(); 
    curRng.text= btag + curRng.text + etag; 
    return false; 
    } 
    } 
    </script> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
    <form name="editform"> 
    <textarea rows=5 cols=40 name="article" onKeyup="saveCurRng()" onMouseup="saveCurRng()"></textarea> 
    </form> 
    <a href="#" onclick="return surround('<b>', '</b>');">bold</a><br> 
    <a href="#" onclick="return surround('<i>', '</i>');">italic</a>

    Sorry, I updated the script to remove the junk code.
