jQuery focus function not working in Firefox

I was having trouble while make focus on an HTML element using jQuery in a validation fucntion but the focus() was not working in Firefox. Then google out the problem and find a solution somewhere.

So here the solution for "jQuery focus function not working in Firefox" :-

function sampledFunction()

{

window.setTimeout(function ()

{

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

}, 0);

return false;

}

A timer with a count of 0 will run when the thread becomes idle. Hope it will help. :-)
