Focus Element with jQuery

#javascript
#jquery
#html

I thought 

$('#target').focus();

would work fine

Turns out it doesn't work, seems chrome fires the event too quickly.

setTimeout(function(){$('#target').focus();},0);

Works great!

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
