[SOLVED] Place the cursor

[amalosoul]

I have a text area, and I want to place the cursor not at the end of the text but after a certain number of characters can this be done? (some kind of focus() function that positions the cursor lets say 3 characters before the end of the text...)

Thank you very much!

Maybe I shouls be more explicit:)...for example when you click on this forum on insert code it shows something like

and places your cursor inside

cursor_here

. I was wondering how this is done:)!

you can do something like this:

 

document.getElementById("textarea").focus();

Thank you! I appreciate your answer but I have solved my problem, in the mean time:). I knew that function I needed an extension focus() !
