This is the plugin:
(
function($)
{
$.fn.foo=function()
{
$(this).focus()
return $(this)
}
}
)(jQuery)
Now, $('input#foo').foo() does not get focus. Any idea why?

A:
Looks like your foo function expects a parameter:
$('input#foo').foo("mymap");

sorry, i'll remove the parameter. I'm just presenting a minimized view of the function

A:
(function($){
$.fn.foo= function(map){
return this.each(function(){
// element-specific code here
$(this).focus();
});
};
})(jQuery);

if your codes is working without errors, that should do... look at this [demo](http://jsfiddle.net/SNmDg/)

ok, there must be an error somewhere. i was looking for if something was stealing the focus, but its not the case either. http://jsfiddle.net/LMfrp/

actually this line `if (!("autofocus" in document.createElement("input")))` was not true at all that's why the's no focus happening... [updated demo](http://jsfiddle.net/LMfrp/2/)

well, which browser are you using? in firefox 3.6.8, it is true. In Chromium, which enables autofocus, it is not.

sorry, its just me being very stupid. I ask the element to get focus before I append it to the DOM in my code, hence err of course. Thanks anyway Reigel!

A:
Use $(this)[0].focus();
$().focus() fires the events bound to focus for a particular element. $()[0].focus() calls focus on the DOM element itself, which causes the browser focus to change.
