1. there is a text which is calling a function on onclick() of the text. The function generates a number and then puts it in the text but the cursor is at the start of the value in the text box . I want that this cursor(control) should be at the end of the value that gets populated in the text box so that i can delete it by using back space. Can anybody tell me how to proceed for this problem.

Here's an example that should get you going:

function doField(field) {
field.value="Populated Value";
fieldTxt = field.createTextRange();
fieldTxt.moveStart( "character", field.value.length );
fieldTxt.moveEnd( "character", 0 );
fieldTxt.select();
}

you can do much more with this as well. If you were to use (field.value.length-2) as the moveStart value then the function woud always select the last two characters in the text field.

See this page for reference: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread15182.html.

Pretty funny, but I just realized that the person who answered to post in that other forum I reference above is someone I used to work with!
