Position cursor at the end in textareas

Ubi

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?

var t=textAreaElement,
len=t.value.length;
if(t.setSelectionRange){
t.setSelectionRange(len,len)
t.focus()
}else if(t.createTextRange){
var rn=t.createTextRange();
rn.moveStart('character',len)
rn.select()
}

Hi guys,

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 ?

<body onload="document.myForm/myText.focus();">

With Firefox, it goes to the end.
With IE, it goes to the beginning.

Thanks for replying!
