title: Getting the cursor row/column from a Google spreadsheet through a Javascript method
body: <p>On 29 Mar 2010, Jason Hale wanted to use the spreadsheet cursor location to select an e-mail address for a Javascript app he was writing - See <a href="http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/apps-script/U10q44vptPU" rel="nofollow">http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/apps-script/U10q44vptPU</a>.  Respondents suggested the getActiveSelection and concomitant getRowIndex/getColumnIndex methods.  Unfortunately, they didn't work for Hale and they didn't work for me two years later when I wanted to write a similar application.  The cursor's location has no effect on getRowIndex and getColumnIndex.  These methods always return 1, which is useless and probably a bug.
     Google Apps lacks a cursor service such as the one Python offers.  Has anyone found anything that Google Apps returns that might be useful in this context?</p>
