Question

Please see my example here: LIVE EXAMPLE

*As you can notice, the focused on input is not the first empty one. What is wrong? *

jQuery Code:

$(document).ready(function() {

$('.quick div input, .quick div textarea').live('focus', function() {
    var a = $(this).attr('id');
    var b = 'submit';

    $('.quick .focus').removeClass('focus');
    if (a == b) {
        return false;
    } else {
        $(this).parent().addClass('focus');
    }
});


  $('input:text[value=""]').focus(); // problematic line

});

Answer 1

You have to use :first. As you are not using :first, it is going through every <input type="text" value="".. and it is stopping at the at last one. Code below will work for you

 $('input:text[value=""]:first').focus();
