How to set the focus for a particular field in a Bootstrap modal, once it appears
Try this
Here is the old DEMO:
EDIT:(Here is a working DEMO with Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.8.3)
$(document).ready(function() { $('#modal-content').modal('show'); $('#modal-content').on('shown', function() { $("#txtname").focus(); })});Starting bootstrap 3 need to use shown.bs.modal event:
$('#modal-content').on('shown.bs.modal', function() { $("#txtname").focus();})
Just wanted to say that Bootstrap 3 handles this a bit differently. The event name is "shown.bs.modal".
$('#themodal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () { $("#txtname").focus();});or put the focus on the first visible input like this:
.modal('show').on('shown.bs.modal', function (){ $('input:visible:first').focus();})
I am using this in my layout to capture all modals and focus on the first input
$('.modal').on('shown', function() { $(this).find('input').focus(); });
