set focus to cftextarea using rich text

[lucidtech]

I have a cftextarea with richtext=true. I have absolutely everything working correctly except this :

When the user clicks a hyperlink, I want to set focus to the textarea so the user doesn't need to click to start typing. Figured this would be the easiest part of this whole deal, but I'm stumped.

Here's the code for my textarea

<cftextarea rows="10" height="325" cols="75" name="msg" richtext=true toolbar="MyToolbar" id="msg" basepath="rich">#msg#</cftextarea>

Have you tried?

<script>
document.yourformname.msg.focus();
</script>

<script>
document.yourformname.msg.focus();
</script>

Yes, that is what I would have suggested. But I seem to recall something about focus problems with textareas involving the FCKEditor. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the details. So you might try a google search on that.

Is your name property set on the cfform tag this textarea tag is within?
