So, currently I have a text-input-field with a value that is also autofocused.
On page load, the value is selected / highlighted. Is there a way I can put the cursor at the end of the value text instead of highlighting it in javascript or CSS?
Here is a js fiddle where the autofocused text's value is highlighted: http://jsfiddle.net/TaGL5/
Here is the HTML code: <input type="text" value="value text" autofocus />

I found that to make solution work with Firefox, we need temporary reset value to "not-equal of value", then set it back
<input type="text" autofocus value="value text" onfocus="var temp_value=this.value; this.value=''; this.value=temp_value" />
This works for me
<input type="text" autofocus value="value text" onfocus="this.value = this.value;"/>
Use this, its nice work for me...
<input type="text" name="txt" value="value text" autofocus="" onfocus="this.setSelectionRange(this.value.length,this.value.length);">
OR add this line to your input element
onfocus="this.setSelectionRange(this.value.length,this.value.length);"
Use Jquery for this:
$(function() {
var input = $("#txt1");
var len = input.val().length;
input[0].focus();
input[0].setSelectionRange(len, len);
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="txt1" value="Lorem" style="width:400px;" />But some browsers don't support enter code here property, in which case use this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#search").focus(function(){
if (this.setSelectionRange)
{
var len = $(this).val().length;
this.setSelectionRange(len, len);
}
else
{
$(this).val($(this).val());
}
});
$("#search").focus();
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="search" type="text" value="mycurrtext" size="30" name="search" />This question already exist on stackoverflow:
You can add this parameter to your text input field:
onmouseover="this.setSelectionRange(this.value.length,this.value.length);"
onfocus="this.setSelectionRange(this.value.length,this.value.length);"
NB: Works well under Chromium in 2017.
Select element by class or id, then focus, and then re-insert value.
<input type="text" class="element-to-autofocus" value="Some existed text" />
<script>
temp_el = document.querySelector('.element-to-autofocus');
temp_el.focus();
temp_value = temp_el.value;
temp_el.value = '';
temp_el.value = temp_value;
</script>
