almightyegg Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've used this exact code before yet it refuses to work. Here's my javascript: <body onLoad="document.form1.contact.focus()"> here's the form: <form action="send.php" method="POST" name="form1"> <table border="0"> <tr><td width="100"><b>To</b></td><td><input type="text" id="tokenize" name="contact" /></td></tr> <!--this is the form element I'm trying to focus on... but ti doesn't work. Perhaps it's because it has other javascript working on it too? though I didn't think that'd effect it--> <tr><td> </td><td></td></tr> <tr><td><b>Subject</b></td><td><input type="text" name="subject"></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td></td></tr> <tr><td><b>Message</b></td><td></td></tr></table> <center> <input type=button value='Bold' onclick="aaatml(1);"><input type=button value='Italics' onclick="aaatml(2);"><input type=button value='Underline' onclick="aaatml(3);"><input type=button value='Strikethrough' onclick="aaatml(6);"><input type=button value='Link' onclick="aaatml(4);"><input type=button value='Image' onclick="aaatml(5);"> <br> <textarea id="colorBox" name="desc" style="width: 450px; height: 190px;"></textarea><br> </center> <input type="submit" value="Send"> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167618-problems-with-focusing-on-a-form-element/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodesa Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 You are using a jQuery plugin to modify the input and turn it into a fancy type-ahead dropdown. You need to look at the documentation for whatever plugin you are using, they should have some focus() method you can use with that.

haku Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've used this exact code before yet it refuses to work. It may help if you were even more vague about what the problem was. Next time, try not even posting text, just put up some code.
