How to make input on autofocus for IE browsers?

Question

I want to be able to make my input on autofocus but when I put it like this:

<input type="text" autofocus="focus"> 

it doesnt work?

Why is this?

Answer 1

autofocus attribute isn't supported by IE, so you need to use Javascript. If you use jquery, you can emulate it:

<input type="text" autofocus="focus"> 
<script>
    $(function() {$('[autofocus]').focus()});
</script>

When IE catches up and adds full autofocus support, you can remove the script from your webpage.
