Need jQuery solution for placing cursor in text field

hello people, I'm using the following line to change the value of a text input from it's default, to an empty string when an event takes place:

Code: Select all

onevent = ("#target_id").val("");
But the overall goal is to actually get cursor to position itself in the text field when the even is triggered, not just to simply erase the default value of the text field. How can that be achieved?

Like this:

Code: Select all

("#target_id").focus()
