do you have an example of this somewhere?

easiest way is that: after page load use this script to focus on textbox:

document.formname.textboxname.focus();

than if you if you changed text value and want to go to end of this textbox, write that: document.formname.textboxname.value=document.formname.textboxname.value;

thats all folks :)
