Javascript / Client Side Development :: Position cursor at the end in textareas


	Position cursor at the end in textareas Hi guys, I am loading a page with textareas containing text. By the default, the cursor goes at the beginning of the text. I would like to position the cursor at the end of the text instead. Does anyone have a quick script to handle this?

When I click in a textarea the cursor goes where I've clicked ... If I do : myTextarea.focus(); the cursor comes at the end. How do you do to get it in 1st position ? > I would like to position the cursor at the end of the text instead. <body onload="document.myForm/myText.focus();"> -- Stephane Moriaux et son (moins) vieux Mac dj dpass Stephane Moriaux and his (less) old Mac already out of date Thanks a lot! > How do you do to get it in 1st position ? With Firefox, it goes to the end. With IE, it goes to the beginning. Thanks for replying! Daniele
