You could use some ranges, see below (tested IE5.5 and Mozilla 1.3).
The example uses document.onclic k for simplicity, but you could also
use some more advanced triggers (storing the mouse position for IE in
a mousemove handler, and grabbing the rangeParent/rangeOffset from the
mousemove evt object for Gecko).


document.onclic k = function(evt){
var d=document;
if(d.selection && d.body && d.body.createTe xtRange){ //IE
var no_tags="inputt extarea";
if(d.selection. type=="Text" &&
no_tags.indexOf (event.srcEleme nt.nodeName.toL owerCase())==-1){
var rng=d.body.crea teTextRange();
rng.moveToPoint (event.x, event.y);
rng.pasteHTML(" Foo");
}
}else if(window.getSe lection){ //Gecko
var sel=ng=window.g etSelection(), rng;
if(sel.rangeCou nt){
rng=sel.getRang eAt(0);
if(rng.startCon tainer.nodeType ==Node.TEXT_NOD E){
var txt=d.createTex tNode("Foo"),
txtAfter=rng.st artContainer.sp litText(rng.sta rtOffset);
txtAfter.parent Node.insertBefo re(txt, txtAfter);
sel.removeAllRa nges();
}
}
}
}
