input element. Values are zero-based integer counters of positions
between characters in the text entered into the field. When both
properties have the same value, the visual result is the same as a
text insertion pointer. For example, to place the cursor at the end
of a text box, set the two values to the element's
text length (see the <span class="literal">textLength</span> property). The
equivalent IE functionality requires creating an IE text range in the

selecting the range (see the <span class="literal">TextRange</span> object).
