text field value not appending properly in android phonegap application

Question

I'm facing a strange problem when working with text fields in HTML.

I have two text fields "username_1" and "username_2", the username_1 will show when the app in portrait mode, and username_2 for landscape mode.

Okay, now i entered some value in "username_1" field consider as SSSSS, and i change the orientation, when i change the orientation am making "username_1" is blur, hide and making focus on "username_2", i set the value of "username_1" to "username_2". Now am in "username_2" field, and "username_2" value is SSSSS.

Now, if i start entering some values in "username_2" field consider as RRRRR , its appending from starting(RRRRRSSSSSS) instead of adding as in back(SSSSSRRRRRR).

$("#username_1").blur();
$("#username_1").hide();
$("#username_2").val($("#username_1").val());
$("#username_2").show();
$("#username_2").focus();

Please bare grammatical mistakes, please provide suggestions !!!

Thanks.

Maybe you can post more code because that works fine http://jsfiddle.net/nXqAt/ — gaepi, Jun 20 '13 at 12:14
Hi @gaepi : its working in normal browsers, its not working in android devices especially OS 2.3 and 4.0 — Sriram90, Jun 20 '13 at 12:59

your cursor in the text fields of html are at position zero. try and move it to the end of the content within it using some function(to move the cursor in text field)

P.S. I haven't used phonegap so m unable to tell the function name.

@user1753810 are you sure u using `val` is correct and there is nothing called as `text` for those `textfields`?? – 7bluephoenix Jun 20 '13 at 10:48
yeah am sure using val on that....and i can able to get the value when i use alert. – Sriram90 Jun 20 '13 at 10:50

Maybe it's stupid but if you try to focus before set the username_2 value ?

$("#username_1").blur();
$("#username_1").hide();
$("#username_2").show();
$("#username_2").focus();
$("#username_2").val($("#username_1").val());

Or take a look at this solution : place caret at end
