Hi Bret
Simply add folling statement after you set the focus to the textarea:
document.ProcurementModRemarksForm.PrcProcRem.value = document.ProcurementModRemarksForm.PrcProcRem.value + "";
That should do the trick.

>>>I have created a form called Form1 that has a TextArea called TextArea1. The TextArea displays a large memo field for the user to edit or add to. What I need is the ability to place the user at the end of the text data when the HTML form comes up. Does anyone know how that can be accomplished for a Web Form? Also as a side question when I have an Input field called Input1 and it initially has a value of ADL666. I would like to place the user on the Input1 field and at the end of the last 6, so they can just append to it when the form comes up.

>>>Any help on either of these would be greatly appreciated.
