How to set focus on first input field using jQuery in IE?

Question

I can set focus on first input, that works in all browsers(except IE):

  $('#login').on('shown', function () {
  $(login).find('input:visible:first').focus();
})

I need to call it after Bootstrap modal showing will be finished, so I'm calling it in shown function.

Also tried this code(not working):

 $('#sign_up').on('shown', function () {
    setTimeout(function () {
    $(sign_up).find('input:visible:first').focus();
  }, 100);
 ///working everywhere except explorer
$('#login').on('shown', function () {
  $('#user_email').focus();
})
