[Answer]-Control Cursor Location on Focus in Form Field

You’re almost there, you just need to fire your code when your form field is focused, instead of on document ready. In my tests it was necessary to add a zero timeout, because otherwise the field value remains selected:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $field = $("#field_id");
    $field.on('focus', function() {
        setTimeout(function() {
            var old_val = $field.val();
            $field.val('').val(old_val);
        }, 0);
    });
});
