heres the new improved code

tested in IE and firefox

this new one should fix the crazy selection issues (blame the function quickquotesel1 for that : <) and if you're using a browser that supports selectionStart and selectionEnd then it should preserve the caret position

GM version:
http://version.thedt.net/scripts/GM/quickquotetester.user.js

code:

---

function quickquote(pid){

    var sel = getCurrentSelection();
    var messageElement = document.getElementsByName('message')[0];
    if(!sel || sel == ""){
        var postdata = document.getElementsByName('qq' + pid)[0].value;
        var username = document.getElementsByName('qqu' + pid)[0].value;
        insertAtCurrentSelection("[quote=" + username + "]" + postdata + "[/quote]\r\n", messageElement);
    }else{
        insertAtCurrentSelection("[quote]" + sel + "[/quote]\n", messageElement);
    }
}


//inserts at the current selection and moves carret
function insertAtCurrentSelection(text, element){
    if(element.selectionStart !== undefined && element.selectionEnd !== undefined){
        var value = element.value;
        var startString = value.substring(0, element.selectionStart);
        var endString = value.substring(element.selectionEnd, value.length);
        var newSelPos = element.selectionEnd + text.length;
        element.value = startString + text + endString;
        element.focus();
        element.setSelectionRange(newSelPos, newSelPos);
    }else{
        //IE doesnt have per input selection, only document.selection, so we cannot insert at the correct position :(
        element.value += text;
        element.focus();
    }



}

function getCurrentSelection(){
    //good browsers
    if(window.getSelection){
        return window.getSelection().toString();
    //IE
    }else if(document.selection && document.selection.type == 'Text' && document.selection.createRange){
        return document.selection.createRange().text;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}
