Use either .focus() to get the caret in, or .select() to make it more obvious to the user where it's, like ->  http://www.webdevout.net/test?01o&raw

Rather than using an alert box which must be dismissed requiring several
operations just display some corrective text next to the text box.

This is easy to do with JS changing the className of an element.

Remember that your page must work even with JS disabled.

    If the user has disabled JS, then he is too dumb to take your advice 
anyway.
