Twitter bootstrap modal input field focus

I think the shown event name changed in Bootstrap 3, as explained in this post.

As @MrDBA notes, in Bootstrap 3 the event name is changed to shown.bs.modal.

So, for Bootstrap 3 use:

$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
    $('#myInput').focus();
})

For a general solution that doesn't require specific code for each dialog, you can use this:

$('.modal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
  $(this).find('input:text:visible:first').focus();
})
