Put cursor at the end of input text

10-11-2007, 09:40 AM

Hi,

I have an input text box in my javascript code. When an event is fired, I need to set the cursor at the end of the text in the input text box but when I call:

Code:

textBox.focus()

the cursor is put at the first char of the text.

Any idea is appreciated.
