Re: cursor focus

Hi, PHP will do NOTHING with cursor position in your page, because it's running on server. Perhaps what you've read is generating some Javascript (which actually places the cursor) with PHP... Hmmm, if you are not running Javascript, maybe an attribute TABINDEX, which almost every html tag has, would help, but sorry if i'm mistaken, didnt check that...
