How do I move focus to next input with jQuery

Question

I am using the autocomplete plugin with jQuery and it is working fine  However  in IE  when the user selects an item in the autocomplete  the focus does not then move to the next input field  Naturally it works in Firefox  The plugin doesn t have a built-in solution but does provide for  options   Is there a way I can force it to move to the next input field

You can do something like this      input   change function       var inputs     this  closest  form   find   input      inputs eq  inputs index this   1   focus          The other answers posted here may not work for you since they depend on the next input being the very next sibling element  which often isn t the case   This approach goes up to the form and searches for the next input type element

Could you post some of your HTML as an example   In the mean-time  try this        myInput   result function          this  next  input   focus         That s untested  so it ll probably need some tweaking
