Basic Focus() Question

[JohnnyAppleseed]

Ive got a really simple problem but I can't figure it out. I've got a
form named bob with one text box name bobtext with a default value of
"http://". When I add onload="document.bob.bobtext.focus()" it focuses
on the text box, but at the beginning. Is it possible to focus on the
text box, but at the end of "http://"? This seems like something easy
so I'm probably making some stupid mistake. Thanks.

Something that seems to work widely is to add a character to the text,
then strip it again immediately:

function cursorToEnd( elem )
{
elem.focus();
elem.value+='x';
elem.value=elem.value.replace(/x$/,"");
}

cursorToEnd( document.forms.bob.bobtext );
