First  select the element  You can usually use the ID like this       searchField       select element by using   someid    Then  to set the value  use  val  something   as in       searchField   val  something       set the value   Note that you should only run this code when the element is available  The usual way to do this is     document  ready function        execute when everything is loaded         searchField   val  something       set the value

Use it like this       searchField   focus function           this  val            It has to work  Otherwise it probably never gets focused
