[RESOLVED] Focusing text input field

How can I focus an text input field so the cursor is positioned to the end of the text?

I do this:
document.getElementById(‘form1:text1’).focus();
and it is focused, but the “writing cursor” is blinking at the start of the field and not the end so the user can continue writing.

Any ideas? ?
