Control where typing starts in input field
<p>Is it possible to control where in an input typing starts on focus?</p>

<p>e.g. </p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="text" value="(+44)" id="phone_number" /&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p>I need the user's typing to begin after the existing value, but leave the option to backspace and delete.</p>

<p>Something like:</p>

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#phone_number').focus(function(){
  //place type start after whatever value already exists
 });
});
</code></pre>
