I've done that, and it should show up next time I push the code to the
production server.

How many pages do you know of that actually want to do this? It may be
fundamental, but it's atypical. I found three different ways to do it
- none of them supported by Safari. Ironically, the browsers that do
support any of those methods all keep the cursor at the end of the
textarea when I add the new text, and so don't need them.
