I have this in my body and it works
onLoad='document.forms.post.message.focus()'
but I need the cursor to be placed in the textarea at the beginning of any existing text, not at the end. This puts it at the end.
Note that I know nothing about JavaScript, so be gentle.
Thanks
function moveCaretToStart(el) {
if (typeof el.selectionStart == "number") {
el.selectionStart = el.selectionEnd = 0;
} else if (typeof el.createTextRange != "undefined") {
el.focus();
var range = el.createTextRange();
range.collapse(true);
range.select();
}
}
moveCaretToStart(document.forms["post"].elements["message"]);
