TINYMCE set focus... just will not work

I've tried

tinyMCE.execInstanceCommand("content", "mceFocus");

I've tried 

tinyMCE.execCommand('mceFocus', false, "content");

None of them seem to work :-(

There is an even simpler way than the previous suggested code. When you initialize tinymce, there is an option to set the configuration parameters. Just make sure that you set the AUTOFOCUS option.

var editorOptions = {
    script_url: "/scripts/tinymce/tiny_mce.js",
    theme: "advanced",
    entities: "",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_align: "left",
    theme_advanced_statusbar_location: "bottom",
    theme_advanced_resizing: true,
    content_css: "/styles/site.css",
    template_external_list_url: "lists/template_list.js",
    external_link_list_url: "lists/link_list.js",
    external_image_list_url: "lists/image_list.js",
    media_external_list_url: "lists/media_list.js",
    theme_advanced_buttons1: "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,bullist,numlist,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,help",
    theme_advanced_buttons2: "",
    theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
    theme_advanced_buttons4: "",
    width: "640",
    height: "220",
    auto_focus: "body2"
};

Well, I was stuck in the same problem. But I believe it depends where you execute the code. Here are various links that I've found so far:

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8238

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=91307#p91307


But I solved my issue the following, and it might not apply to yours:

this.focus();

this.tinymce.execCommand('mceFocus', false, 'yourTinyMCEtextAreaID_goes_here');

This code was applied inside the tiny_mce_src.js -> InsertHorizontalRule, just so you can have an idea of the scope.


Hope that helps.
