focus

I have a contenteditable element that I want to focus, but only insofar as to place the cursor at the front of the element, rather selecting everything.

elem.trigger('focus'); with jquery selects the entire element in chrome. How can I get it to behave the way I want, or is focus perhaps not what I'm looking for.

Thanks
