Old JavaBean 1

[stormbind]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the old JavaBeans that bundled with Netscape Navigator but documentation is thin on the ground

With a simple java textarea, how do you change the value of selected text?

If that is not possible, how do you change all the text in the textarea?

Thanks

TextArea ta = ... // however you get it
ta.replaceRange("Hello", 0, 5);

This JavaBean is much more than I was expecting out of NN4 and I don't want to drop it, but I'm having a serious problems

getSelectedText() only works when the selection is on the first line of the textarea. If on any other line I get the following...

JavaScript Error: uncaught Java exception
java/lang/StringIndexOutOfBoundsException ("String index out of range: 38&quot

Any suggestions? :[

Just to update, I think I fixed it.

Counted the number of \n in substring(0,getSelectionStart()) and deducted the value from the selection positions.
