There is no simple way to do it since all browsers handle the current cursor location in the string different. Some support it whiles others do not.
I do not have time to try it, but you need to play with strings and this

I tried earlier ones. Those seems to pretty complex to implement. Do you have any thing simpler. Users are complaining that they need to press insert key again once they refresh the page
