I have done the following code in JavaScript to put focus on the particular element (branch1 is a element),

document.location.href="#branch1";

But as I am also using jQuery in my web app, so I want to do the above code in jQuery. I have tried but don't know why its not working,

$("#branch1").focus();

The above jquery (focus()) code is not working for div, whereas If i am trying the same code with textbox, then its working,

Please tell me, how can I put focus on a div elemnt using jQuery?

Thanks!

For my problem this code worked, I had to navigate to an anchor tag on page load :

$(window).scrollTop($('a#captchaAnchor').position().top);

For that matter you can use this on any element, not just an anchor tag.

If you're simply trying to scroll to the specified element, you can use the scrollIntoView method of the Element. Here's an example :

$target.get(0).scrollIntoView();

I think you might be looking for an "anchor" given the example you have.

<a href="#jump">This link will jump to the anchor named jump</a>
<a name="jump">This is where the link will jump to</a>

The focus jQuery method does something different from what you're trying to achieve.

maybe you want to try this simple one

$(document).ready(function() {
   $(".to-branch1").click(function() {
     $('html, body').animate({
         scrollTop: $("#branch1").offset().top
     }, 1500);
   });
});
