[jQuery] jQuery().focus() not working in IE 7
Dear Folks,
I have been having a problem with the jquery foucs function not
working in IE 7. I have a small piece of code showing a textbox that
is initially hidden. Below is a simplified framework of the function
that does the opening
function (textbox_id)
{
jQuery('#' + textbox_id).show();
jQuery('#' + textbox_id).focus();
var textboxObj = document.getElementById(textbox_id);
if (typeof textboxObj.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
textboxObj.addEventListener('change', sendUpdate, false);
textboxObj.addEventListener('keypress', openNext, false);
}
// Fix for IE browsers
else if (typeof textboxObj.attachEvent != 'undefined')
{
textboxObj.attachEvent('onchange', sendUpdate);
textboxObj.attachEvent('onkeydown', openNext);
}
}
The above code works in Firefox and Opera but does not seem to work in
IE 7.
Please do let me know if there is a way to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Nandu
