Set cursor position in an input text field

Question

After a lot of search I found the following threads:

jQuery Set Cursor Position in Text Area

Unfortunately

Answer 1

I think I found the error in your setCursor method. The moveStart and moveEnd methods expect two arguments, the first being the unit it should use. Also, the end position appears to be relative to the start position. So I think instead of

    textRange.moveEnd(pos);
    textRange.moveStart(pos);

you want

    textRange.moveStart('character', pos);
    textRange.moveEnd('character', 0);
