[JavaScript]Adding BBCode Tags Around Highlighted Text

I already know how to add bbcode tags to text (document.getElementById(element)), but is there a way to add the text AROUND higlighted text?

If anyone can help me, i'd appreciate it

I'm sorry to say that, but wrapping something around selected text within pure JavaScript is quite difficult, I suggest using some JavaScript Framework and look for a plugin/library to do such things. That's my opinion.

I'm willing to do some {complicated} work.

All i need is something to point me towards it, or possibly a full tutorial. (Of course, we all want the easy way. xP)

Well try this for start
