Question

I can’t focus the textbox in a pane which comes on clicking dropdown as shown in image:

Here is the code I am using:

          $("#dialog-modal").dialog({
          title: "Upload to: FolderNameGoesHere",
          width: 720,
          height: 450,
          dialogClass: "file-upload-modal",
          modal: true,
          buttons: {
              "Save": function () {
                  $(this).dialog("close");
              },
              "Cancel": function () {
                  $(this).dialog("close");
              }
          }
      });

      // Fix input element click problem
      $('.input-append').click(function (e) {
          //$(this).focus();
          e.stopPropagation();

      });​

Modal tries to steal everything away from you 🙂

$('.input-append').click(function (e) {
    //$(this).focus();
    e.stopPropagation();

});​

should be

// Fix input element click problem
$('.input-append').bind('click mouseup mousedown keypress keydown keyup', function (e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});​
