jquery scroll to div and focus a textbox

I am trying to achieve two things with a single onclick of anchor tag. First, when I click on search, I am scrolling to a particular di开发者_如何学JAVAv, and then trying to focus on the textbox within that div. Below is the link to the sample code. I am able to scroll to the div, but somehow the textbox is losing focus. What is wrong with the code?

You need to prevetDefault.

$("#searchlink").click(function(e){
 e.preventDefault();
 $("#searchtext").focus();
});

Return false also does the same.

Works fine in all browsers tested except Firefox. See here for more info: http://www.symphonious.net/2010/11/24/controlling-focus-in-firefox/

I've added second $("#searchtext").focus(); and it works in firefox. not elegant but works.

        $("#searchtext").focus();
        return false;
      });
