No, this didn't work. By looking in the debugger I found the following syntax to work

element[0].attributes["id"].value

------------------------------------------

However, I am still not sure of this directive and not sure I understand its code.

I want to be able to use it on the element by

<input sm-focus ...>

or

<input sm-focus="false" ...>

and in the last case don't set the focus.

Here is my current code

(function () {
    'use strict';

    var app = angular.module('sysMgrApp');

    app.directive('smFocus', [ '$timeout', function ($timeout) {
        return {
            restrict: 'A',
            scope: {
                noFocus: "=?"
            },
            link: function (scope, element) {
                var noFocus;
                if (angular.isDefined(scope.noFocus))
                {
                    console.log("noFocus attribute defined");
                    noFocus = scope.noFocus;
                }
                else
                {
                    console.log("noFocus attribute is not defined")
                    noFocus = false;
                }

                console.log('Element Id= ' + element[0].attributes["id"].value + ' noFocus=' + noFocus);
                if (!noFocus) {
                    scope.$on('sm:focus', function () {
                        $timeout(function () {
                            element[0].focus();
                        }, 10);
                    });
                }
            }
        };
    }]);
})();

Can you help me to achieve that functionality?

Thanks again.
