Discussion
The A5.edit.insert method allows for the inserting of a text value into an INPUT or TEXTAREA. The insert method will honor the undo stack, meaning that the user can undo changes done by the insert.
Example
// assume that "ele" is a DOM element pointer to an TEXTAREA control, and that the value of the TEXTAREA is "Hello |,\nYour message was received!" - the "|" represents the cursor location.
A5.edit.insert(ele,'{firstname}');
// the value of the TEXTAREA would now be "Hello {firstname}|,\nYour message was received!"
