Yep possible with JS.
I believe I copied all the code I use to do this, hope it makes sense...
// get cursor position
function fnCursorPosition( obj )
{
var i = obj.value.length + 1;
if ( obj.createTextRange )
{
cursorPosition =
document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
while ( cursorPosition.parentElement() == obj &&
cursorPosition.move("character",1) ==1 )
{
--i;
}
return i;
}
else
{
return -1;
}
}
function fnMoveCursor( obj, position )
{
if ( obj.createTextRange )
{
obj.caretPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
var text = obj.createTextRange();
if ( obj.type == 'text' )
text.move("character", position -1);
else
text.move("character", position);
text.select();
}
}

> Hi All

> If I have a form laid out as follows:
>
> <input type="text" value="somevalue" name="input1"><br>
> <input type="text" value="someothervalue" name="input2">
>
> If the user tabs down the page & starts tabbing down the form
> the entire contents of the field is selected by default. If
> the user immediately starts typing they will replace the
> contents of the field.
>
> My question is it possible (using onFocus() or something) to
> move the cursor to the end of the field value when a user
> tabs into the field?
>
> I guess I want the user to append to the value by default
> rather than replacing it.
