Someone found that this method does not handle visibility correctly. When a visibility:hidden parent with a visibility:show child, the child would override its parent's property (of course!). So the script only need to check display:none parent, which would introduce another filter:
$(":text:visible:enabled").filter(function(){ return $(this).filter(function(){ this.style.display == "none"; }).size()==0; }).eq(0).focus(); On 4月17日, 下午9時40分, Jacky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To work on any type of input should be easy, just replace ':text' with > input. > > I know that IE would give error when you're focusing a 'disappearing' input. > (parent is hidden, for example).
