Hi Jim H:
Please don't take this as a condemnation of any sorts but did you not read the
previous message from JR on this topic? I ask because it appears that I'm
missing messages from the list on a more frequent bases and most times if
another message hasn't the chain appended I will need to visit the list
archive. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
Jim C.

Hi,
I just remembered what event it could be. Onblur. That's when you tab out of a
field. If you move it to that event, it will run and do its magic and your
screen reader won't have a fit.

Jim,
I suspect you are right. The reason it is going to the end is that when you put
a value back like that it moves the cursor to the end as though you had typed
it.
I'm taking a class on javascript and we talked a bit about that.
I probably wouldn't have used the onchangedevent I'd have used the event that
is triggered when you exit the field to uppercase the whole thing at that
point. <smile>
Best,
J. R.

Hi Pamela,
Do you know which event is calling the script?
Thanks.

I want the cursor not to keep jumping to the end of the edit field after each
character I type, when I'm trying to insert a word or more than 1 character in
the middle of the edit field.
Thanks,
Pamela

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.

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;
}
