title: IE8 not allowing jQuery to give focus to textbox
body: <p>I have jQuery which produces a popup window, as outlined here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.jsfiddle.net/sLjfx/4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jsfiddle.net/sLjfx/4/</a></p>
  
  <p>The problem is that the following line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#txtValuation').focus();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't seem to want to work in IE8. The popup will load, but the textbox doesn't have focus, where in Chrome the box does have focus.. Is there any work-around for it?</p>
