JQuery Validation Library (Document! X Sample)
focusInvalid Option
jQuery.validator Namespace > options type : focusInvalid Option
Focus the last active or first invalid element on submit via validator.focusInvalid(). The last active element is the one that had focus when the form was submitted, avoiding to steal its focus. If there was no element focused, the first one in the form gets it, unless this option is turned off.
Syntax

var value; // Type:  boolean
