.focus() doesn't fire for 'a' (anchor) element

[rworth]

This is a regression from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.x:

<a id="myLink">This should be focused.</a>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(function() {

$("#myLink").focus();

});

</script>

Expected: The link receives focus, visible by an outline

Actual: The link does not receive the focus

Cause: I've traced this to the trigger: function jQuery\event\event.js (r1765, line 132)

-if ( fn && val !== false )

+if ( fn && val !== false && !jQuery.nodeName(element, 'a') )

Fixed in SVN rev [2529].

If something is broken we will need a test case. This one works fine for me:

You *must* have an href for the element to be focusable.

You should write like that

<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[

$(window).load(function () {

$("#YourID").focus();

});]]>

</script>
