Mike, Thanks very much for your reply.
I want to wait until the infoWindow with the input fields exists and then I want the user to already have the only text input field to be in focus ready for him/her to type. I made the change you suggested on line 65 and tried running again, but with no change in focus. Do markers even have focus()? http://schott.selfip.net/~brian/mapswdelete/rideshare.html 63 var iwform = 'Enter your name:<br>' 64 + '<form onsubmit="process(this); return false" action="#">' 65 + ' <input type="text" name="data" id="data" size="31" maxlength="31"/> ' 66 + ' <input type="submit" value="Submit" />' 67 + '<\/form>'; 68 69 function whenReady( id, callback ) { 70 var interval = setInterval( function() { 71 var element = document.getElementById( id ); 72 if( element ) { 73 clearInterval( interval ); 74 callback( element ); 75 } 76 }, 10 ); 77 } 84 GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() { 85 lastmarker = marker; 86 marker.openInfoWindowHtml(iwform); 87 whenReady( 'data', function( marker) { 88 marker.focus(); 89 }); 90 }); 91 noMore = true; 92 map.addOverlay(marker); 93 marker.openInfoWindowHtml(iwform); 94 whenReady( 'data', function( marker) { 95 marker.focus(); 96 }); Thanks for taking a look.
