focus on textarea

[grausp]

On a website I have a form containing a TEXTAREA and also some buttons that add text to this TEXTAREA, after clicking one of the buttons I want to have the focus returned to the TEXTAREA, that's easy using the focus() function. The problem is that I want the cursor at the end of the text already enterd in the TEXTAREA and not at the start. That's what the focus() does. Any suggestions?

Please try -


<form name="f">
<input type=textarea name=test size=12>
<br>
<input type=text name=test2 size=12 onkeyup="document.f.test.focus(); document.f.test.value = document.f.test.value">
</form>
