Jquery autocomplete - when select an item the cursor move to begining

Question

I'm using jquery for autocomplete and when the user select any item from the dropdown list , the cursor of the input text move to the left (begining of the input text).

The input text is not read only because I want to enable the user to enter text and not only select.

here is my code:

 $("#id").autocomplete({        
    source: url,
    select:  function (event, ui) {
               // some code here
    }
});

This behavior is not correct. I need that the cursor will stay at the end of the selected item and NOT move to the start.

Thanks for any help,

John.

So, you want to move the cursor to the beginning of your input? What is your question? — sdespont

this is usually a problem when you have not focused the element before. Try to use

$("#id").focus();

on select.
