I have the following code that assigns tabindex to my form id register1. I would like to place the cursor on the first input or select list item on the form (item with tabindex = 1) once tabindexes are assigned. but the following line: $('#register1').find('input').attr('tabindex',1).select();
Resets tabindex of all the inputs.

Full code:

$(function(){

    var tabindex = 1;

    $('#register1').find('input,select').each(function() {

        if (this.type != hidden) {

            var $input = $(this);

            $input.attr(tabindex, tabindex);

            tabindex++;

        }

    });

    $('#register1').find('input').attr('tabindex',1).select();

});

thanks
