Caret

If you're not familiar with the "caret" term, then don't worry, you already know it. It's the blinking cursor that appears when you write a text with your keyboard in both Web and desktop-based applications.

This small jQuery plugin allows Web developers two functions they can use to interact with the caret on textareas and text input fields.

They can query the text input element and get the (numeric) position of the caret, or they can either move it automatically at a desired position, at page load or dynamically later on.

A simple example page is included with the Caret plugin download package.

Requirements:

• Python
