Okay, just an update for anyone thinking of helping. I ran the dialog
page by itself (sans thickbox) and the focus gets set just fine. So this
is somehow related to thickbox.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem that I hope someone out here can help me solve.
I'm using thickbox to popup a dialog that asks a user for one piece of
information in a text box. I want to set focus to that text box once
the dialog is on screen, but I seem to be running into a race
condition (*I think*).
As the dialog is popping up I get an error that says focus cannot be
set because the item is either invisible or not of the type that
accepts focus.
I've got the instruction in the $(function(){}); section of my code,
but no matter where in there I put the focus instruction, it seems to
be running before the element is rendered on screen.
Is this because I'm using thickbox? Or is there something else I may
have missed?
If example code is needed, I'll post it.
Thanks heaps everyone!
Chris
