How to set cursor on same input after every ajax submit?

Question

I have a form with textbox message and submit button as below

<form action="#" id="messageform">
     <textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
     <input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>

And I have ajax to submit form as below.

$("#messageform").submit( function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});

My problem is I have to manually place cursor at message textarea after clicking submit button. Is there any way to set cursor default on message box . Even after I click on submit button cursor should remain on message textarea .

Answer 1

Just use .focus after click as below:

$("#messageform").submit( function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $("#message").focus();//this here
});
