I'm getting the following error on IE 8.0:
Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.3; MS-RTC LM 8; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E) Timestamp: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:03:26 UTC
Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
The piece of code indicated by IE was:
jQuery.event.triggered = type; elem[type](); jQuery.event.triggered = undefined;

Add a jsfiddle testcase to the original ticket showing the issue, and I'll open it. Please refrain from opening duplicate issues.

Any plans to fix this? I see that both associated bugs have been closed. I am going to through a painful $ and $.ui upgrade process and this is one of the pains. Wrapping every $.focus() statement in the code base in a try, catch is an unacceptable solution.

Yes, the fix is to not set focus to an element that the user cannot see. Please don't comment in duplicate tickets.

I agree that is the correct procedure one should follow when coding. However, previous versions of jQuery allowed this or at the very least failed silently, which encouraged this bad practice. So now there is a code full of these errors, which needs to be patched because jQuery changed it's behavior/response to this bad coding practice.

I just upgraded from 1.6.2 to 1.7.1 and am seeing this on my existing code. Firefox and Chrome work fine; it's just IE (IE8 in my case).
