I’ve tried

tinyMCE.execInstanceCommand("content", "mceFocus");

I’ve tried

tinyMCE.execCommand('mceFocus', false, "content");

None of them seem to work 🙁

Well, I was stuck in the same problem. But I believe it depends where you execute the code. Here are various links that I’ve found so far:

But I solved my issue the following, and it might not apply to yours:

this.focus();

this.tinymce.execCommand('mceFocus', false, 'yourTinyMCEtextAreaID_goes_here');

This code was applied inside the tiny_mce_src.js -> InsertHorizontalRule, just so you can have an idea of the scope.

Hope that helps.
