Hi, To get the current cursor position in Javascript, you can use this solution: <script> function cursorPosition() { var content = document.getElementById('text'); if((content.selectionStart!=null)&&(content.selectionStart!=undefined)){ var position = content.selectionStart; document.getElementById('pos').innerHTML=position; } else { return false; } } </script> <textarea id='text' style='width: 300px; height: 150px;' ></textarea> <br /> <a href='javascript:void(0);' onClick='javascript: cursorPosition();' >Get cursor position</a> <br /> <div id='pos'></div> The function may not be supported in all browsers, but it works in the "relevant ones". | |||||||||||
