This should do it. <script type="text/javascript"> function selTA() { document.myform.myfield.focus(); document.myform.myfield.selectionStart=0; document.myform.myfield.selectionEnd=0; }
window.onload = selTA; </script> ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Bobby Hartsfield http://acoderslife.com -----Original Message----- From: J W [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 2:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Javascript help. I have been beating my head around for the better part of today trying to figure this out.. I am prefilling a textarea with some information. When the page loads, I would like to set focus to the text area and have the cursor position set to the first character in the textarea with the prefilled info. Is this even possible or am I just missing something stupid. I have scoured google to no avail...
