<div>
I am looking for the X/Y in pixels from the top left of the text area. If they type 1000 lines and scroll down, i need to know the scrolled x/y. I am going to position an absolutely positioned div in the body at that position, and i have a way to get the X/Y of the textarea in relation to the whole document. I just need to get at the inside area.
</div>

That solution has merit for IE. Is there a firefox similar way to do this? (Hopefully without using a fixed width font?)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to get the X/Y (rows/columns) location of the cursor in a text area.<br />
<br />
I'm building a spell checker and i'd like to point a big red finger to where they are typing.<br />
<br />
i know you can use textarea.selectionStart and selectionEnd, but this is does not help if they've pressed enter a few times.<br />

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
