I tried sniffing about this with an eye toward adding two characters at the end of the string: <left-arrow><left-arrow> and then throwing focus on the text field, but I'm not doing well in that direction.

Obviously.

Here is a link with an IE-only solution:

If you're running locally (on an intranet) and are able to strap people to IE, this might also be helpful:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
