Cursor postion with scripting in Adobe LiveCycle ES

Question

Hi,
I have a textfield that populates editable text when we click pdf preview. when I tab the cursor moves to the end of the pharagraph. we are using some screen readers that reads the text. Our requirement is to bring the cursor at the begining of the text when tabbed.
Is it possibe to bring the cursor at the begining of text with scripting.
please post the steps if possible.
Your help on this would be highly appriciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh Punugubati.

Hello Jasmin
The "Results" variable need to declared out of the try and catch block, otherwise it won't be recognized when it comes to "close" at the end.
Here is a modified version of your script.
