Use live() with focus() in JQUERY

I have an input field loaded with AJAX. I need that this field receives the focus when loading the page.

How to do it using jQuery, with the functions: LIVE and FOCUS?

$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#yourfield').live('focus',function()
     {
         // do your stuff here
     });
});

As pointed out, live is deprecated as of jQuery 1.7, you should use on in 1.7+:

$(document).ready(function() {
     $(document).on('focus','#yourfield',function()
     {
         // do your stuff here
     });
});

$(document).ready(function() {
     $(document).on('focus', '#yourfield' ,function()
     {
     //your actions here
     });
});

where document is before on() itself could be replaced with any parent element of #yourfield.

More info here: http://api.jquery.com/on/

Do you mean on page load like so or when the field is updated set focus to the field?

$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#yourfield').focus();
});
