When a page is loaded, I need the page to; set focus to a certain textarea, scroll the page down to its location, and set the cursor to the end of the line. I am new to javascript and everything I have tried doesn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot answer accurately because my brain isn't thinking clearly, but hopefully the following will be of use to you - or maybe someone else will come along and gain inspiration and post a more complete answer.
You can scroll down the page using scroll() or scrollIntoView()
something like this:
<form>
<textarea name="box"></textarea>
<div id="end"></div>
</form>
<script>
scrollIntoView('end');
document.forms[0].box.focus;
</script>
At least I think that is right. Humn.. sorry.
