keeping the focus when using Flip on an input

[Alex Jester]

Hello,

I am trying to animate an input element using Flip for when the user is typing something, but when Flip is called my input is loosing the focus.

I tried calling a onComplete: function() { input.focus() }, but that doesn't work...
