Two forms and Javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 04.2011

Hello,
I have two forms (ex. form A and Form ? in a html page. I am using Javascript to focus on an element in form B using document.getElementById(“userName”).focus(). Earlier I did not have form A and it used to work fine but after the introduction of form A, it does not work. Any suggestions as to how to get this working. Thanks,
Sujatha

@KorMay 04.2011 — I suspect you have given the second element the same id. That is illegal in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. The id must be unique on document. Change the ids to make them unique. Or use names :
<i>
</i>document.forms['formname'].elements['elementname'].focus()

[B]id[/B] and [B]name[/B] are different tokens.

@rkharikrishnanMay 04.2011 — you can get the form elelment by

var oForm = document.forms["FromA"];

then the elements by

oForm.elements["userName"].focus();

Success!
