You can try using the KeyPress event, and check the current cursor
position, or even check to see if the arrow keys have been pressed.

I used a bit of JS on a page that is fairly long and didn't like the way that <A HREF='#' ONCLICK=\"... refreshed the page to the top. Removing the HREF (<A ONCLICK=\"...) solved my "problem" however the cursor no longer changes into the little hand when rolling over the link. Can I have both? No HREF and the little hand?

Good morning, I have a form containing a text-area, I'd like to know if it exists a function that, when I activate an event, returns the position of the cursor in the text-area. For example, I write ten words in the text-area, then I move the cursor at the beginning of the second word and activate the event (for example, click on a button): is there a way to know that the cursor is at the beginning of the second word?

I'm trying to learn C. I have a fairly extensive background with C-based scripting languages (Python,Tcl, others), so a great deal of C is proving easy to pick up (control structures, functions, etc.). However, what is *really* tripping me up is the entire process of identifying and declaring variables at the beginning of your program, i.e.: short int short_max = SHRT_MAX; int integer_min = INT_MIN; double double_max = DBL_MAX;
