Question

Is there a way to set focus to an input textbox inside jquery dialog window? I have looked at some other question over here but could not find the answser.

I have tried ..

, open: function() { $(this).find("#inp").focus(); }

but it didn’t work.

Any ideas? Thanks.

UPDATE

the content of dialog window is fetched thru an ajax call.

Answer 1

Try

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

But if you are loading the dialog content with AJAX then you should put focus in call back function

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html', function() {
  $("#inp").focus();
});
