Also, you can use something this function:

function ins2pos(str, id) {
   var TextArea = document.getElementById(id);
   var val = TextArea.value;
   var before = val.substring(0, TextArea.selectionStart);
   var after = val.substring(TextArea.selectionEnd, val.length);
   TextArea.value = before + str + after;
}

For your example, look here.

UPD 1:

To set cursor at specified position, use the next function:

function setCursor(elem, pos) {
   if (elem.setSelectionRange) {
      elem.focus();
      elem.setSelectionRange(pos, pos);
   } else if (elem.createTextRange) {
      var range = elem.createTextRange();
      range.collapse(true);
      range.moveEnd('character', pos);
      range.moveStart('character', pos);
      range.select();
   }
}

I updated code on jsFiddle, so, to view new example, look here.
