Question

How to set focus to each jQuery UI tabs first textbox? I tried like:

var frmObjAT = $j('input[type=button]').closest("form"); 
$j("input[type='text']:first", frmObjAT).focus(); 

First got focus but other tabs not focused.

Kanishka is right but you have to wrap it with Tabs select event

$( ".selector" ).tabs({
   select: function(event, ui) {
       $(this).find("input[type='text']:first").focus();
   }
});

Hope this help.

Edit reply to comment.

Jquery added class to hidden tab you can use that.

I tried this works

$("#tabs .tabs").not(".ui-tabs-hide").find("input[type='text']:first").focus();
