Insert text into div from poput form and rewrite inserted text with javascript

So I read some related questions here before I asked, but can't seem to find an answer to my problem. Hope some javascript wizards can find this and bring me some light.

I created another button for nicEdit, a video button and wanted to insert some formatted text into the DIV editor (note: nicEdit has an inline DIV, no iframe, no textarea).

This is my button, recreated from the image button:

var nicVideoOptions = {

    buttons : {

        'video' : {name : __('Insert Video'), type : 'nicEditorVideoButton'} //, tags : ['VIDEO:']

    },
    iconFiles : {'video' : '../movie.png'}

};

var nicEditorVideoButton = nicEditorAdvancedButton.extend({
    addPane : function() {
        this.vi = this.ne.selectedInstance.selElm().parentTag('A');
        this.addForm({
            '' : {type : 'title', txt : 'Insert Video URL'},
            'href' : {type : 'text', txt : 'URL', 'value' : 'http://', style : {width: '150px'}}
        },this.vi);
    },
    submit : function(e) {
        var vidVal = this.inputs['href'].value;
        if(vidVal == "" || vidVal == "http://") {
            alert("Enter the video url");
            return false;
        }
        this.removePane();

        if(!this.vi) {
            var tmp = 'javascript:nicVidTemp();';
            this.ne.nicCommand("insertVideo",tmp);

            // still nothing works
            //this.vi = this.findElm('VIDEO:','href',tmp);
            //this.vi = this.setContent('[video:' + this.inputs['href'].value + ']');
            //nicEditors.findEditor('edit-comment').setContent('<strong>Some HTML</strong> here');
            //this.vi = this.setContent('<strong>Some HTML</strong> here');
            insertAtCaret(this.ne.selectedInstance, vidVal);
        }
        if(this.vi) {
                  // still nothing works
            //this.vi.setAttributes({
                //vidVal : this.inputs['href'].value
            //});
            //this.vi = this.setContent('[video:' + this.inputs['href'].value + ']');
            //this.vi = this.setContent('<strong>Some HTML</strong> here');
        }
    }


});

nicEditors.registerPlugin(nicPlugin,nicVideoOptions);

      

        
        
        
      

    

There is a button, the poput form is like an image button, so everything is fine. But cannot insert text into DIV. The final output will be derived from this: ('[video:' + this.inputs['href'].value + ']')

and displayed in the DIV editor as is:[video:http//some.com/video-url]

As you can see, I blindly touch everything :)

And this insert is taken from: http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/425/how-to-insert-text-into-a-textarea-where-the-cursor-is/

function insertAtCaret(areaId,text) { var txtarea = document.getElementById(areaId); var scrollPos = txtarea.scrollTop; var strPos = 0; var br = ((txtarea.selectionStart || txtarea.selectionStart == '0') ? "ff" : (document.selection ? "ie" : false ) ); if (br == "ie") { txtarea.focus(); var range = document.selection.createRange(); range.moveStart ('character', -txtarea.value.length); strPos = range.text.length; } else if (br == "ff") strPos = txtarea.selectionStart; var front = (txtarea.value).substring(0,strPos); var back = (txtarea.value).substring(strPos,txtarea.value.length); txtarea.value=front+text+back; strPos = strPos + text.length; if (br == "ie") { txtarea.focus(); var range = document.selection.createRange(); range.moveStart ('character', -txtarea.value.length); range.moveStart ('character', strPos); range.moveEnd ('character', 0); range.select(); } else if (br == "ff") { txtarea.selectionStart = strPos; txtarea.selectionEnd = strPos; txtarea.focus(); } txtarea.scrollTop = scrollPos; }

      

        
        
        
      

    

Flow: I click the button, dropdown forms, fill the input text box, click the query button and the text should appear in the DIV editor.

Hope I can clarify. Any help would be very tired.

thanks
