If you haven't figured this out already, you may just need to load/reload the page. Also, the teamtreehouse site works best in chrome. I have had many wonky issues with Safari and Firefox and, eventually was frustrated enough to call and was given that info. Once moving to chrome, I have had far less issues.

Thank you for the reply. Reloading the page was the first thing I tried and it didn't work, and I am using Chrome. I figured out a workable solution though. This problem appears when the script is too long to fit on the script page so that a scroll-bar appears on the right. When this is the case, I can only start editing the script if I scroll to the top of the script window, then I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to navigate down the part that I need to edit. While a bit annoying, it is doable this way. It is certainly something worth looking into for the site designers.

How narrow is your browser window? Occassionally, if around 500px or so, then the cursor may get "lost" and you can't enter the text field to input characters. Widening the window may enable this.
