you are getting the value by query , then what the reason to set the focus by javascript ...
to set the focus by javascript use
document.getElementById("id").focus();

Probably it's working, but you cannot realize it, because you probably don't know what is "focus". I could suspect it by your question. There is no such thing as "cursor focus". "Focus" always means keyboard focus. You may confuse focusing with selection, or something else.

Also, you may use wrong selector. I could guess by your code sample when you use different selectors: 'paintmul' and '#paintmul'. At least one of them is wrong. Do you really have it in the attribute "id"?

I up-voted the answer with my 4. You are right, but you did not explain about the attribute id and other things. From the formulation of the question, it's more or less apparent that the inquirer needs some explanations and may not know about the role of "id" and notion of "focus".
