How to add a caret like FCKEditor?

[gleery]

We can add a caret in textarea, but when I inspect FCkEditor with
firebug, I don't find a textarea tag, but still there is a caret
there. I wonder how Fckeditor do that? Anyone know that?

To be precise, FCKEditor's UI consists of an iframe which has a document
consisting of a table that has the toolbars in its first row and an iframe
with a Document object that has designMode=on in its second one. That's
for Gecko-based UAs.

For MSHTML-based UAs, the contentEditable property of the inner document's
`body' element object is set to `true' instead:

Both Firebug and IE Developer Toolbar can show this:
