Select input after navigating to a view

[Alex]

I have several views in my Kendo Mobile app and I use buttons and navigate function to navigate between the views.
Each view contains several input elements.

How do i select the first input element to be focused after the view is navigated to?

I have tried the follownig, but it does not focus on the input after the view is navigated to.

application.navigate('#loan-promotion-length');
$('#field-promotion-length').focus();

Never mind, I used the name instead of id in order to identify the input
