How to focus on a textarea

Question

After my user enters text into a form field I want to force the cursor to jump to the next field, by doing something like

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

This works as long as the next field is an input element. It doesn't work when the next input is a textarea . Is there any way to force the cursor to jump to a textarea ?

Thanks

将tabindex=1添加到textarea 。

<textarea id="senderName" tabindex="1"></textarea>
