I believe this is for the onLoad() that you use in the <BODY> tag.
Is there any proposal as to include this in the 1.1 (or) 1.0 version of
struts ? Basically everytime a jsp page is called, the onLoad() method is
called which send the focus to the first error (if any exists). With my
previous client, we used a javascript pop-up window to display the errors
rather than display in the same page (and mess up the outlay of the page).
When the user closes the error window, the focus is shifted to the first
error field.
Any suggestions/comments on this are welcome.
cheers,
Amar..

I believe that if we use javascript it can be done. When struts shows the
previous page with errors in it, using javascript we can send the focus to
the first error field in the group. I believe that i have done something
similar to this with my previous client. Basically we used jsp tags to get
the first error field (out of the error object) and send focus to it.
// pseudo syntax
if(errors exist)
document.form.<%= errorBean.getFirstError() %>.focus
p.s Please excuse my bad javascript syntax. I am not that good with
Javascript.
cheers,
Amar..

Well, there is, but I don't think this answers the original question.
You can use the focus attribute of the html:form tag:
<html:form action="[action]" focus="[name of field to focus on]">
Alas, this will make it so that that field is always focussed on, not the
field that gave the error. I am not sure if that is possible.
