Hi all,

I'm having trouble trying to set the focus to a textarea that resides inside a div which is ajax loaded using .load().

I understand that I'll need to use .live() as this div isn't in the DOM but I just don't know how to do it.

Any help would be great thanks.

Anyone out there know how to do this? I'm still stuck.

Cheers

If #foo is the id of the input element:

$('#foo').focus();

Cheers for that but it doesn't work as the div was loaded after the DOM.

Hmmm, are you sure?
