Suggested code for insertTags()

The current implementation of insertTags() (used to insert characters/tags while editing) in wikibits.js is inadequate for Internet Explorer and Opera: the resulting text selection is very inconvenient. 

The proposed insertTags() prototype is attached. Please see my en.wp linked page for examples and more info.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-07-12 17:40:52 UTC
Applied in r24042

Tested and confirmed expected behavior:
* Firefox 2.0 / Mac
* Opera 9.20 / Mac
* Opera 8.0 / Mac
* Opera 7.5 / Mac (no toolbar)
* Opera 6 / Mac (no toolbar)
* Safari 2.0 / Mac
* Safari 3.0.2 / Win XP
* IE 7.0 / Win XP
* IE 6.0 / Win XP

Tested with oddities:
* iCab 3 / Mac (toolbar displays but nonfunctional; seems to have HTML parsing errors unrelated to the JS work)
