jQuery Forum

Which browser?  Doesn't flicker in Chrome.

I've had a chance to look at the jquery.ui.dialog source code and it looks like this is sort of intended behavior. In the "open" method there is code to find the first "tabbable" element and focus on it. From the comments it looks like this was intended for form elements (input text boxes & buttons I think), but obviously links are tabbable as well.

My fix was to add an option called "autoFocus" and default it to true to maintain consistent (backwards compatible) behavior. Setting this option to "false" would result in no jumping. The flicker I saw in Firefox also goes away (not sure what was causing that).

Sooo... how do I submit this fix? I've attached my revised version - its only 2 lines of code, the option default and the "if" condition.

[UPDATE: Added a line to the fix to focus on the dialog itself (no links, buttons, etc) if the option is false. I can't seem to delete the first attachment, so be sure to grab the LARGER one (20.31KB).]
