The jQuery ID selector needs a # before the id.

So

$("#id").append($("#elementid")).focus();

should work if you want to put focus on your #id DOM element, if you want to put focus on the #elementid DOM element, then you can use VisioN's answer.

In your example you are adding focus to id element, that's why it doesn't work.

Try this solution instead:

$("#elementid").appendTo("#id").focus();
