lonewolf217 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 you need to find a way to run the function. the easiest way would be <body onload=setFocus()> but this would set the focus to the message box every time the page loads. otherwise you will have to find another way Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148806-solved-one-more-question-about-reply-form/#findComment-781430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

haku Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 To do that you have to write your textarea like this: <textarea></textarea> If you leave any whitespace in between these tags, it turns into whitespace inside the textarea when it renders.
