Hi,
This is more of a general guestion. I for life of me can not figure out how
to get the cursor to be displayed in the text box of a form. I have looked
high a low, but keep coming empty handed.
Thanks in advance
Leonard
 
Switch to preview or preview in browser and then click in the textbox.

If you want to put some default text in the textbox, doubleclick it and
choose form field properties. Type the text in the dialogue box presented -
this text will show up by default when you view the site in the browser or
Preview.
 
do you mean that when you open a page with a form on it the
cursor is already prepositioned in the text box?

Click to expand...

If the OP does mean this, then s/he needs to use focus()

EG if you have a form
<form id="form1" name="form1" action="" >
Name:<br/>
<input type="text" id="Name" name="Name" value="Insert name" size="40"
/><br/>
....
the JS to set focus is
document.form1.Name.focus()
