Focus

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 21.2005

2 Things, I was wondering when a page loads, how do I make a certain text box have the focus.

Also is there a thing I can do, to turn the textbox yellow when it has focus, and regular color when it is off focus?

Thanks,

DJSM

@pollyApr 21.2005 — 1) <body onload="[B]textbox name[/B].focus();"

2) perhaps you can make a css attribute for the background color of the selected text box

<!--

input.focused{ background-color: yellow; }

input.blured{ background-color: white; }

-->

</style>

<input type="text" onfocus="this.class='focused';" onblur="this.class='blured';" name=txt1 value="" />

Is that because the class in put on the webpage compared to a CSS?

Thanks,

@comptech520authorApr 21.2005 — I tried <body onload="uid.focus();">

it says the "uid" is not defined.

This is what I have to define it:

<input class="form" type="text" name="uid" size="27">

@pollyApr 21.2005 — try:

onload="form.uid.focus();" >

or maybe

onload="document.form.uid.focus();" >

@comptech520authorApr 21.2005 — It didn't know what onload="document.form.uid.focus();" > was, and when I used the onload="form.uid.focus();" > it said that form was undefined still.


Thanks,
