yeah, but what you want to do can only be accomplished with JavaScript. PHP is a serverside language and you need a clientside-lang like JS.

[PHP] Re: cursor focus
Hi, PHP will do NOTHING with cursor position in your page, because it's running on server. Perhaps what you've read is generating some Javascript (which actually places the cursor) with PHP... Hmmm, if you are not running Javascript, maybe an attribute TABINDEX, which almost every html tag has, would help, but sorry if i'm mistaken, didnt check that...

Re: [PHP] Re: cursor focus
If you -could- use Javascript, it looks something like this: document.formName.textfieldName.focus() Steven J.
