[jQuery] set focus?

[Jez McKean]

I see focus() will 
run the events tied to an elements onfocus, but how can I set the 
focus.
(e.g. click button 
to un-disable a textinput, then set the focus on said 
input.)

Regards,
Jez

$(#myinput)[0].focus()

Perhaps calling focus ($(#myinput).focus()) should actually set the
focus on the element as well as fire the onfocus event - rather than
just fire the event.

 Perhaps calling focus ($(#myinput).focus()) should actually set the
 focus on the element as well as fire the onfocus event - rather than
 just fire the event.

It would help if the event shortcuts were less ambigous, eg. onfocus() instead 
of focus(). If so, it would be easy to add focus to actually call focus on the 
first element, eg.

jQuery.fn.focus = function() {
  if(this.length  0)
this[0].focus();
  return this;
};

I wonder if that would trigger the focus events for that element...

Great, thanks. :)

BTW: I have found that this is also true of .select()


 Perhaps calling focus ($(#myinput).focus()) should actually set the
focus on the element...

I guess actually it might cause difficulty if another selector type was
used since there may be more than on match.
