Hi Pamela, I have no idea why java script is doing this. Does it happen in all jsp files or only a few. If only a few then there maybe a problem with the script, if it happens to all then probably your settings or something complicated in the bowels of the computer. The all experts website is what I believe is an excellent resource particularly with programmoing issues.

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; } ----- From: program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Corbett, James Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 8:00 AM To: 'program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [program-java] Re: OT - Javascript question?
