RE: Setting Focus to Field (does not work on .cfm file)
I have a question, does anybody knows how can I get the Coldfusion server to process ALL the JavaScript code? I have been trying to use the onfocus="..." for the body tag (see bellow) but it still does not work... It does work fine if I rename the .cfm file to .htm (same code and everything, just renaming file), but somehow for the .cfm file the JavaScript code does not work..

So, if your form is NAMED "TEST" then you will need: body onload="document.TEST.fieldname.focus()" whereas: body onload="document.Test.fieldname.focus()" would NOT work. Same goes for the fieldname..

It does work fine if I rename the .cfm file to .htm (same code and everything, just renaming file), but somehow for the .cfm file the JavaScript code does not work.. You can't get the CF server to process any of the JavaScript code! That gets processed on the client! Your specific problem may be caused by something you're putting in your application.cfm file. For example, if you've got a BODY tag in application.cfm, your BODY tag within the specific document will be ignored.

Re: Setting Focus to Field
That should work, assuming of course that "someform" has been replaced with the correctly-spelled name of your form and "fieldname" with the name of your field...

RE: Setting Focus to Field
you could either combine the stuff into one function call (eg...)
HEAD
...
SCRIPT
function doonloadstuff() {
...
}
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
body onload="doonloadstuff();"
or you could separate them with semis. (eg...)
body onload="document.TEST.fieldname.focus(); dootherstuff();
dosomemorestuff();"

RE: Setting Focus to Field
John,
Create and Call a JS function to handle the
current on load js code as well as the focus call
like:
HTML
HEAD
TITLE Test onload/TITLE
script language="JavaScript"
!--
function CheckOnLoad()
{
your other js code
document.TEST.fieldname.focus();
.. any other js code
}
//--
/script
/HEAD
body onload="CheckOnLoad()"
rest of body.
/body
/html
Jim
