    If your question is whether a hidden field can steal autofocus from a visible one, the answer is no.

    Hidden fields with an autofocus property get focus when they are made visible.

    Here’s a jsFiddle that shows what happens if you have a visible field and a hidden field, then show the hidden field.

    And here’s a variation that demonstrates what happens if the visible field does not have an autofocus property.
