How to focus input, and deselect text inside it

Question

I am currently wanting to focus the first input element, without selecting the preset value text inside the input element. How can I focus my input element, and then deselect the text inside it? My current focus jQuery is as follows.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("input[name='title']").focus();
});

You can use the selectionStart and selectionEnd properties:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("input[name='title']").each(function(){
        this.focus();
        this.selectionEnd = this.selectionStart;
    });
});
