focus to the next input in datatable with jquery

Question

hi guys, I would like to make a focus to the next input in a table with jquery. I have this table in jsf.

<p:dataTable id="resu" value="#{onController.items}"  var="item" >

   <p:column id="colIn" >

     <h:inputText  id="i"  value="#{item.cup}"  />

   <p:column>

<p:dataTable>

was tested with this:

function nexts(input) {
   $(input).next("input[type=text]").focus();
}

onkeyup="nexts(this)" in the input

It does not work between rows only with inputs followed.

The next() only searches in the siblings. The datatable renders a HTML <table> with rows in <tr> elements. Rightclick the page in webbrowser and choose View Source. You should base your JS/jQuery code on this (simply because that's basically all what it can see). Technically, you should go up to the closest <tr>, then go to the next <tr> and finally find the next input element in there.

$(input).closest('tr').next('tr').find('input[type=text]').focus();
