Hai Guys, I want to set cursor at a position of length 14 on a textbox which will not have a value.. Iknow initially cursor will be at 0 i want it to be at 14
IE use different approach at setting cursor position than Firefox,Opera and Chrome. It's better to make a helper function, which will do it for you. I use this one for own needs.
function setCursor(node,pos){
node = (typeof node == "string" || node instanceof String) ? document.getElementById(node) : node;
if(!node){
return false;
}else if(node.createTextRange){
var textRange = node.createTextRange();
textRange.collapse(true);
textRange.moveEnd(pos);
textRange.moveStart(pos);
textRange.select();
return true;
}else if(node.setSelectionRange){
node.setSelectionRange(pos,pos);
return true;
}
return false;
}
Last thing, is to call it from your onfocus handler.
Goodluck
