Display current line and column number for a textarea
问题 I'm making a file edit interface in my web-app, I have a textarea with file contents. When textarea is focused, I want to output the position of the cursor, i.e. line number and column: this is useful because error messages usually yield a line number, for example. The question is: how do I figure out the position of the cursor in textarea? I'm using prototype library. Maybe there's a solution already? I'm not really interested in fancy toolbars for the textarea, which are offered by those
