Setting mouse cursor is not possible in JS, due to security. Think of entering a site which suddenly starts to move your mouse for you ... and possibly click ads on this site. Would you add such feature to browser?

Are you referring to the mouse cursor? If so, browsers don't provide an API for setting the position of the mouse cursor.

If you're talking about a text insertion caret in a TextArea or similar widget, you can use TextBoxBase.setCursorPos() to set the caret to a particular offset within the text.
