[jQuery] Re: setting focus to the first empty field

[Jthomas]

What about when using jquery tabs?  I have a form that's very long.
Each tab shows another section of the form.  It would be nice to focus
on the first empty field every time you click a tab and load it's
content.

$('[value=""]') seems to be broken in 1.3.1 (fixed in the nightlies,
see http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3990), so that would be

$('form input[value=]:first').focus();

$("#FormID input").each(function() {
  if ($.trim($(this).val()) == "") {
$(this).focus();
return false;  //exits loop
  }
});

Something like this, perhaps?

$(input :not([value])).focus()
