<script>
function sf()
{
  document.forms.thetext.ci_mytext.focus();
  document.forms.thetext.ci_mytext.scrollTop=1000;
  document.forms.thetext.ci_mytext.scrollLeft=1000;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="sf();">
<form action="test.html" name="thetext" method=post>
  <input type="text" name="ci_mytext" value="This doesn't sound like  
a problem.  Since the text will be a fixed size, you'll determine  
that size.">
</form>
</body>
</html>


This gets it close. If you run this and type a key you will see the  
cursor is at the end. It places the cursor at the end but doesn't  
scroll for me until I hit a key (both in FF and Safari). Maybe  
someone could come up with a way to make this work. It gets close.


If anyone can get it working I am very interested in this as I have a  
similar need for this functionality.
