I making an application that required to focus() on text input on a form. All the form is using AJAX. Usually u just need this command to make it work using Jquery:

$(“#search_code”).focus();

But i think IE 7 has a problem focusing on created-on-the-fly-DOM text input. It won’t focus. Firefox does this splendidly without any problem. So i think this may resolve the problem

$(“#search_code”).blur().focus();

And it doesn’t. I try to googling and found some site to try select first than focus. So i type this code :

$(“#search_code”).select().focus();

It work on the first DOM, when i remove the field and recreated it, it won’t focus anymore…

After 3 days stuck on this error. I decided on temporarily fixed this with stupid workaround

function ieFocus(el) {  // Damn IE  for(a = 0 ; a < 10 ; a++) {    el.blur();    el.focus();  }}

I’m trying to find a proper solution to this problem. Have anyone have a same problem before? Please reply ^^

Thanks in advance.
