Set cursor position to the end of a text field ?

2 New Member

Hi,

I just saw the following thread:
http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/157703-set-cursor-position-end-text-field

The question seems to be answered, but I don't know how to include the suggested code into my form embed code so the cursor be placed at the end of the default value:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script>
 
  <script>

  $(document).ready(function(){

$("#site").focus(function(){

    if( this.value == this.defaultValue ) {

        $(this).val("http://");

    }

});

  });

  </script>
 
</head>

<body>

<form action="#" method="post">

<input id="name" type="text" name="name" /><br />

<input id="site" type="text" name="mail" value="Website" /><br />

<input type="submit" value="Send"> 

</form>

</body>

</html>

I wonder if someone could help me with this.
Any help is appreciated!
Mike

Right now you are changing the value of the site input box from "Website" to "http://" upon getting focus and the cursor is placed after "http://".

Is this not the intended functionality?

"Is this not the intended functionality?"

Yes. But it's what you get over a focus by mouse. I want the same effect on a focus by Tab key.

I see, that was not previously mentioned.

I don't think this is going to be something that is built in as tabbing and then highlighting the text is normal behaviour for forms.

There maybe an existing plug-in that you can use.. Searching for "caret position" may also be helpful.
