Is there any way to assign the Search box on a JQuery/JSON/DataTable page the focus? &nbsp;I want the page below to have the search box keep the focus so end users viewing their results can just step up and enter their bib number to view their results. &nbsp;Thanks!<br />

Keeping the focus on the  JQuery Search Box

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

AJAX

JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, is human-readable text used when transmitting data objects consisting of attribute:value pairs between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON, while it is originally derived from JavaScript, is a language-independent data format. Code for parsing and generating JSON data is available in many programming languages.
