[Trinidad] Caret position

[Shane Petroff <sh...@mayet.ca>]

Hello,

How can I get the current caret position from a tr:inputText component 
over to some server side code? I have an action which is used to open a 
dialog, and at that point I want to grab the current caret position for 
use in the dialog's return listener. Googling 'java Trinidad "caret 
position"' turns up virtually nothing, and searching for the erroneous 
label 'cursor' naturally turns up boatloads of pages related to the 
proper use of the word.

One idea:
Look up the input text via document.getElementById(), then use JS to
get the caret position, set the value in an inputHidden and use that
control to decode the location and store it somewhere you have access
to.
