I am having problems in setting the focus in instanceReady event of CKEditor 3.4.1. I have already tried the following two ways but both of them are not always working. 

CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function(e) { CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.focus(); });


CKEDITOR.replace('editor1',
{
    on :
    {
        instanceReady : function( ev )
        {
            ev.editor.focus();
        }
    }
} );
