How to set focus in a modal dialog

[Jason Rodman]

I have been trying to find a way to set focus to textbox when showing a modal, but I have not found an event fired by the view that occurs after the modal is visible. I tried both Activate and viewAttached but both fire before its shown. Any ideas?

Are you using ko hasfocus binding http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/hasfocus-binding.html in your view?

If you are using Twitter Bootstrap CSS,  try  class="autofocus" on the input element.    Also, autofocus is an HTML5 attribute you can set directly.
