prompt() into textbox

[Jacob]

How do you get a javascript prompt() box to put whatever you enter
into the prompt box into a text box. So for example you would be
typing in a textbox and you would want to add a word in bold, so you
click the a button, a prompt box appears and then you enter the word
you want in bold and then click ok and it adds it into the box where
the cursor is within the box with the tags <b> </b> ...

Many Thanks in advance,

Jacob

Hmm... take a look at some examples... most of them just let the user press
a bold button and insert "<b></b>" into the textbox at the current cursor
position, then move the cursor to between the two tags.

It'd be much better than having to type in another pop-up dialog...
