获取textarea的光标位置

获取textarea的光标位置，并插入数据

//两个range，一个是已经选择的text(range)，一个是整个textarea(range_all) 

//range_all.compareEndPoints()比较两个端点，如果range_all比range更往左(further to the left)，则 //返回小于0的值，则range_all往右移一点，直到两个range的start相同。 

// calculate selection start point by moving beginning of range_all to beginning of range

// 计算一下\n
