Haven't tested it yet but I can see that you're using jQuery which will add more than 90KB in size to my showthread.php pages. I guess that if you're using an external javascript it means that there is no other way to focus the cursor on the WYSIWYG quick reply box in IE9 when using the code shared by Bird? His code is working perfectly fine in Firefox, Chrome and even IE9 (but only when using the non-WYSIWYG editor).

I won't say that there is no other way, but the way I posted should work under all circumstances.

Thanks for the input.

Do you think that it's possible to make this to work with the included YUI js library that comes by default with vB 3.8? Because relying on jQuery adds more than 90KBs in size to my showthread.php pages :-(

Of course it's possible. I can't do it, though; maybe someone else can. :)

It's on Google's CDN so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
