I am using Firefox 34.0.5

I have tried both setTimeout and focus but it is not working in firefox but all ok with google chrome and IE. I also have cleared browser cache.I am using the following javascript function...

C#

function NonNumericAlert(Id) {
            controls = document.getElementById(Id);
           if (controls.value != Number(controls.value)) {
               alert("Field(s) should be numeric only.");
               //this.controls.focus();
               //setTimeout(controls.focus(), 1);
               //setTimeout(controls.select, 1);
               //setTimeout("controls.focus();", 50);
               setTimeout("this.controls.focus();", 0);
               alert("jhghaghsgh");
               return false;
           }

       }
