How to scroll to an element in jQuery?

I have done the following code in JavaScript to put focus on the particular element (branch1 is a element), ``` document.location.href="#branch1"; ``` But as I am also using jQuery in my web app, so I want to do the above code in jQuery. I have tried but don't know why its not working, ``` $("#branch1").focus(); ``` The above jquery (focus()) code is not working for div, whereas If i am trying the same code with textbox, then its working, Please tell me, how can I put focus on a div elemnt using jQuery? Thanks!
