There may be a jQuery way to do this, but I don't know what it is.
However, I do know 2 ways to accomplish this: one DOM way, one IE way.
Both methods must be employed.
$(function() {
$('input[type="text"]').bind('focus',function() {
window.o=this;
if (o.setSelectionRange) /* DOM */
setTimeout('o.setSelectionRange(o.value.length,o.value.length)',2);
else if (o.createTextRange) /* IE */
{
var r=o.createTextRange();
r.moveStart('character',o.value.length);
r.select();
}
});
});
