Hi,
If you tell me a little more about what you are trying to do, it might help. 
From what you say, I'm guessing that the reason this is happening is not 
because of the script, but because the script may be called by the on change 
event. The on change event makes the script fire anytime the edit field 
changes. The edit field changes anytime you type or remove a character. What do 
you want to happen?

Thanks.

Jim

I was pointed to the below JS as contributing to my problem, which I will try 
to explain.

When I need to edit or update a field by inserting a word in the middle of the 
field, every time I enter 1 character the cursor jumps to the end of the field 
and I have to keep moving the cursor back to the insertion point in the middle 
of the field I'm editing.
I have to keep doing this for every character I want to enter.
I don't know JS that well, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
I will look into Roger's suggestion of googling "sigte all experts" (don't 
understand that google search exactly),
and getting a copy of JS for dummies.

Thanks,
Pamela

----- JavaScript code -----



function uppercase(textField)

{

if (textField.value == '')

{

return;

}

var val = textField.value;

var upper = '';

var len = val.length;

for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)

{

if (/^[a-z]{1}$/.test(val.charAt(i)))

{

upper += val.charAt(i).toUpperCase();

}

else

{

upper += val.charAt(i);

}

}

textField.value = upper;

}
