focus() not working in safari or chrome

by

I got the answer on my own, it might seem weak, and too simple, but it works.

Ready for this awesomeness..?

Just add a timer of 0 to the focus…for some reason it just gives it enough time to fully load the input into the DOM.

function recipientDivHandler(code, element) {
  $("#recipientsDiv").append('<input type="text" id="toInput" class="inlineBlockElement rightSpacer" style="border:0px none #ffffff; padding:0px; width:40px;margin-bottom:3px;padding:0; overflow:hidden; font-size:11px;" />');
  setTimeout(function() {
    $("#toInput").focus();
  }, 0);
}

If someone else can further explain this or has a better answer please feel free to take the stage 🙂
