Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:09:46 GMT

This code gets the current caretIndex in the textfield and then inserts the specified string at that point. The caretIndex position is then updated using setSelection, ready for the next insertion.

The backspace button is intended to function in the same manner as pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
