Hi, Ariel: The textarea is '550px' in my application, so I guess I actually need to count the 'px' from the top and left of the textarea borders. so I need to find a way to roughly compute these two numbers by using the width of the textarea, number of newlines before the current position and the font-size.. Is there any better approach to do this with scroll-To within a textarea element? :-) Many thanks, lihao(XC)
