Question

I have the following HTML.

<input type="text" class="embeddedLabel" />

And I wish to tie a function to the focus event of the textbox with…

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(input[@class = 'embeddedLabel'].focus(function(){
        alert('embeddedLabel textbox found');
    });
};

However, I can’t make this work. The alert never fires when I click in the textbox. Is it obvious to anyone what the issue is here?

You’re missing some quotes:

$("input[@class = 'embeddedLabel']")
