Sven Meier resolved WICKET-6652.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Sven Meier

You shouldn't update a textfield via Ajax in response to entering text, otherwise user input willl surely be disrupted.

From what I see on Stackoverflow moving the caret to the end of the text isn't easy to get working for all browsers. Feel free to submit an improvement.

> I'm trying to rewrite a simple Angular app in wicket and I'm facing an issue.
> My webapp must validate the text entered by user in real time. I create a AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior tirggered by keyup event. the main problem is that when wicket validates the input it refocus the component on the html placing the caret at the beggining of the field, before the already typed text. So if I Digit 'gi' as text and the text is invalid the caret of the filed is before the 'g' and not after the 'i'.  Is it possibile to have a patch or a workaround (i tried to use appendJavascript in my Behavior but with no luck).
> Thanks a lot.
