Need Cursor At Beginning Of Text In Textarea

I have this in my body and it works onLoad='document.forms.post.message.focus()' but I need the cursor to be placed in the textarea at the beginning of any existing text, not at t

Solution 1:

function moveCaretToStart(el) {
    if (typeof el.selectionStart == "number") {
        el.selectionStart = el.selectionEnd = 0;
    } else if (typeof el.createTextRange != "undefined") {
        el.focus();
        var range = el.createTextRange();
        range.collapse(true);
        range.select();
    }
}

moveCaretToStart(document.forms["post"].elements["message"]);
