0	Hi Abhi , The code supports IE7 compatible version.I am also finding the solution for textarea cursor focus and finally i done it. <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> // textEl is the name of TextBox or TextArea function storeCaret (textEl) { if (textEl.createTextRange) textEl.caretPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate(); } function CtypeCursor(objDest) { this.dest = objDest; if (objDest.createTextRange && objDest.caretPos) { var caretPos = objDest.caretPos; if(caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == '') { caretPos.text = pt.value; } caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? } } </script> Abhi_patil, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi Abhi ,

The code supports IE7 compatible version.I am also finding the solution for textarea cursor focus and finally i done it.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 

            

// textEl is the name of TextBox or TextArea

  function storeCaret (textEl)

               {

                   if (textEl.createTextRange) 

                     textEl.caretPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();

               }

              

                function CtypeCursor(objDest) 

                {

	         this.dest = objDest;

	        if (objDest.createTextRange && objDest.caretPos) 

                     {

                            var caretPos = objDest.caretPos;

                         if(caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == '')

                               {

                                  caretPos.text = pt.value;

                               }

                       caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ?

                        }

               }



            

    </script>
