"Scroll" to the very right of a long text input

Question

I have an image selector that allows to choose an image from a gallery, then fills in the URL into a <input type="text"> field. The URLs can be awfully long, and always seeing the first half of the URL in the text field has very little informational value.

Does somebody know a way to "scroll" to the very right of the text field so that the end of the URL is visible instead of the beginning? Without resorting to a textarea.

Answer 1

Consider to make use of the dir (direction) attribute which you set to rtl (right-to-left).

E.g.

<input dir="rtl" value="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1962168/scroll-to-the-very-right-of-a-long-text-input"&gt;
