Set focus

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 17.2007

I need a quick javascript.

I have a link, lets say its like this:

[CODE]<a href=”#” OnMouseOver=””>Set Focus</a>[/CODE]

and i have a input:

[CODE]<input type=”text” id=”ProfileSearch”>[/CODE]

I need a js so that when the user mouseovers the link it sets focus to the input.

I would prefer it to be like onMouseOver=”javascript: ___” or “ProfileSearch.focus()”

@ricpMar 17.2007 — for a start you would never do... onevent="javascript: __ " ..the script protocol is not needed.

<i>
</i>&lt;a href="#" onmouseover="document.getElementById('ProfileSearch').focus()"&gt;Set Focus&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;input type="text" id="ProfileSearch"&gt;

That'll do what you asked for. I am a little uneasy using that code as the <a> tag is really meant for navigation, not setting focus. With that in mind I would change it to a <span> or something similar.

Success!
