Use the following JS code once the page is loaded:
document.getElementById ( 'input_id' ).focus();
Obviously, 'input_id' is the value of the id attribute for the textbox.

Hi all,
just an easy question probably, I wrote my first two
pages
does this code need to appear in any certain area of
the web page? i.e. body, head ??

None of the suggestions work for me, but here is the

You need a name on your form,
cfform action=DaveActionForm.cfm name=myForm
Then put myform in the js,
document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus()

You DO NOT have a form named yardage_ticket_no so of course it won't work ;-)
document.formName.fieldName.focus();
change your cfform tag to look like so:
cfform action=DaveActionForm.cfm name=yardageForm
and use this:
still doesn't workmust be missing something else.
I've tried it with the semi colon without on that
line and have the same resultshere is the code
again

make it cfinput type=text name=yardage_ticket_no
id=yardage_ticket_no / then.

Dave -
Try this:
script language=JavaScript
window.onload = function() {
document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus()
};
/script
I can't swear to this for built-in functions like focus(), but if I
were calling a custom function, I would need to leave the parentheses
off of your original
window.onload =
document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus()
add a semi-colon to the end
document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus();
Also try the code I sent you ;-)
What browser are you tesring with BTWthis can effect things

The line break after window.onload =
could cause a problem (maybe?)

The browser is IE Mozilla; makes no difference.
I've tried all your suggestions but the input box
never gets the focus. Perhaps it cannot be done.
Perhaps I'll come across something more suitable in my
book.

Perhaps CFFORM is messing with the form name?
try a normal form tag and see if that helps

compliance.
I ended up putting JavaScript at the bottom of the page (just before the
closing BODY tag) to put the focus where I wanted it.

I'd recommend using the getElementById over the formname.fieldname.focus().
And JS is parsed as it's read, for the most part, so simply putting
scriptdocument.getElementById('fieldIDGoesHere').focus()/script
AFTER the field should work. The bottom might be safer, and window.onload
is swell if
21 matches
