HTML: Textarea reset

When I press enter, I want to reset the textarea, but when I do that there is a problem. Example: example 'Typ hier om te chatten' is the placeholder. When I typ something an hit enter:

example 2 Now it is focused, but I still need to click to type again, how to do this automaticly?

Code:

$(document).keypress(function(event){

    var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
    if(keycode == '13' && $( "#message" ).val().trim() != ""){
        socket.emit("sendMessage", { value: $( "#message" ).val() });
        $( "#message" ).remove();
        $( "#messagesBoard" ).append("<textarea autofocus maxlength=\"308\"id=\"message\" placeholder=\"Typ hier om te chatten\"></textarea>");
        $( "#message" ).click(); << WONT WORK
    }

});

setTimeout(function() {
  $( "#message").find('textarea').focus();
}, 10);
