Activate 'overwrite'-mode with JScript
Does anybody know a way to activate/deactivate the overwritemode (insert-key toggle) within a textbox, with JScript in IE.
Unfortunatly this is impossible in JavaScript, The creators feel it would be a security risk. Sorry

Sad! Here is my problem. I have a textbox with initially five hyphens in it ("-----"). Each of these hyphens represents a flag. The value can be any number from 0 to 9, or -. For example "--1-2".
The users will often change these values and therefore I wanted to initially set the the textbox in overwrite-mode.
If anyone have any great workaround for this problem I'd be happy to know.

Unfortunately, this textbox isn't the only one. There are four of these textboxes per row, and there can be multiple rows, sometimes over a hundred. Sorry, but I forgot to mention that.
Does make a difference!

This solution actually works!! Maybe not as pretty as I had hoped it could be, but still working and the user shouldn't notice any lack in functionality! I will also add a feature that sets focus to the next <textarea> whenever a valid key is pressed. Thanks man!
