Question

I have a input type text for a search field and I’m using jQuery and Focus, but it’s not working in Internet Explorer and I wonder if I have done something wrong in my code or if there is a better way to do it? Preciate some help! Thanks!

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b").focus();

});

The #search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b id the id of the input tag.

Try this:

   $(document).ready(function(){

      setTimeout(function() {
         $("#search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b").focus();
      },1000);

    });

or

$("#search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b")[0].focus();

Here

$("#search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b")[0]

is similar to

document.getElementById('search12_176db646136e9421c49d1b')
