Thanks for the additional info. I am getting a glimmer of understanding. I
see that the jsetcaret code for FF (and similar browsers) handles the case
where "caret" doesn't exist. I think I need to do the same for IE. I think
there is a race between the document completely settling down and the
javascript manipulating it.
If you are interested you could try editing utiljs to be as follows:
*** utiljhs.ijs
function jsetcaret(id,collapse)
{
var p= jbyid(id);
if(null==p)return;
if (window.getSelection)
...
