Do you mean you want to automatically give focus to a particular form field
when the page loads? You can simply call the .focus() method on the element:
document.getElementById('myfield').focus();
Consider the accessibility implications, first, though; not everyone will be
happy to have decisions made for them about where they want their cursor to
be. ;)

That is not really true. Form fields take focus from the order they are in the code. They can be positioned anywhere on the screen using CSS. Without intervention they will follow this order regardless of top, bottom, left or right on the screen. 'Lining them up' would (hopefully) be done with CSS but will not affect the document flow.

[WSG] Default Cursor into Search box
Matthew,
I don't have a field name. I only have one field on my HTML pages, which is the
search box. This is my Form:
|
form method=get action=# onsubmit=highlight(this.highl.value);return
false
input type=text id=highl /
input type=submit value=Search this Page /br /
/form
|
How do I make the cursor default to the search box? Where would I put the
document.getElementById('myfield').focus(); line in my HTML code? Can I add it
to this code:
|
body onLoad=beginSearch ()
|
Help?

Re: [WSG] Simple question on forms
By default, forms fields take focus from the top-down and left to right. All you have to do, is line them up in the order you want them to have focus. -chuck = On Dec 5, 2007, at 9:47 AM, Minh D.

[WSG] Mail issues
Hey all, As you know, we are experiencing some mail issues. The read receipts issue has been resolved and the offender removed from the WSG system. However, the double posts has not yet been resolved. It appears that the problem is not with the WSG mail server but being caused by someone who is reposting messages. Regardless, we are looking into the problem now. Be aware that we may shut down the mail server for a short time today. Thanks for your patience!

Re: [WSG] Article: Vocalize Firefox (text-to-speech extensions for Firefox)
I haven't tried them before but they sound very interesting. I'll have to give them a look. Nick Lo wrote: I'm wondering if anyone has tried/tested the following potentially useful extensions and if so what their opinion was/is: Two recently released text-to-speech extensions can transform Firefox into a talking Web browser suitable for users with visual impairments -- and anyone else who can use a speech interface to the Web. Fire Vox is designed to be a full-fledged screen reader in a browser, usable for daily browsing even for unsighted users. CLiCk, Speak provides point-and-click screen reading, which can be helpful for partially-sighted users or sighted users who have written language difficulties (such as dyslexia). http://www.linux.com/feature/122197 Nick *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** -- Christian Snodgrass Azure Ronin Web Design http://www.arwebdesign.net/ http://www.arwebdesign.net Phone: 859.816.7955 *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
