I did find this way of getting the cursor in the text field:
click on html
type a letter
click on use regular editor
cursor appears in text field
delete letter. You need some text for the cursor to be placed.

While not typical protocol, my understanding is that Apple is watching this forum for comments on the new discussion groups.

Tuttle, I cannot resist, sorry.
I do not care whether they use javascript or tiddlywinks. It's up to the developer to use the appropriate tools to produce a workable GUI.

I can't help it if they employee poor programmers. If I recall correctly from my JavaScript programming days, there is a control you use to place the cursor in a field. I used the beta version of Yahoo mail just now, it puts the cursor in the input box when I did a reply to a message.

The forum software seems to be running faster today. This is very good news if it continues.
