I'm trying to give focus to a textarea inside a div that is on top of another div. This is how it goes div#container is the bottom div whereby it will list out rows of records from database and there will be a link for users to click on ADD.

strBtmDiv += '<div id="container">';
strBtmDiv += '<table id="tablePending">';
strBtmDiv += '<tr>';
strBtmDiv += '<td>Detail One</td><td>Detail Two</td><td>Detail Three</td><td 
onclick="showDialog()">ADD</td>';
strBtmDiv += '</tr>';
strBtmDiv += '</table>';
$('#mainBody').html(strBtmDiv);

 When user clicks on ADD onclick will fire another function showDialog() that displays a textarea and submit button for user to submit the addedd text.

strDialog += '<div id="overlay">';
strDialog += '<table id="tblDialog">';
strDialog += '<tr>';
strDialog += '<td><textarea id="textRemark" cols="10" rows="5"></textarea></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
strDialog += '</tr>';
strDialog += '</table>';
strDialog += '</div>';
$('#container').after(strDialog);

setTimeout(function () {blackberry.focus.setFocus('textRemark'); }, 300);

showDialog()/div#overlay will be added after the div#container and then using css z-index so div#overlay will appear on top of div#container. I have tried to set focus to the textarea using setTimeout(function () {blackberry.focus.setFocus('textRemark'); }, 300) but it is not working. Can anyone please help?

Thank you.

Have you tried something like...

function getfocus()
{
document.getElementById('textRemark').focus()
}

Thank you. It's working.

But how do I use blackberry.focus.setFocus?
