Hello everyone.

I have the following code

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#myTextArea").focus(function() {
        $("#myTextArea").animate({ "height": "75px"}, "normal");
        return false;
    });

to expand a textbox when it gets focus. The expand occurs, however the blinking cursor disapears, at least in Firefox!

Edited: The textarea is still focused, and i can type on it.

Why does this happen? Is there a way to show it again?

Thanks in advance
