Just to keep things interesting, I tried this with a form from SQLFORM.factory() (used as a LOAD item). It keeps ending up in a ticket, File "C:/Users/Dave/web2py_win/web2py_win 2.14.6/web2py/applications/badlist/controllers/default.py" <http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/edit/badlist/controllers/default.py>, line 46, in getpic form.element(input, _id="no_table_image_url")['_autofocus'] = True File "C:\Users\Dave\web2py_win\web2py_win 2.14.6\web2py\gluon\html.py", line 1200, in element elements = self.elements(*args, **kargs) File "C:\Users\Dave\web2py_win\web2py_win 2.14.6\web2py\gluon\html.py", line 1104, in elements args = [a.strip() for a in args[0].split(',')] AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'split' *File C:\Users\Dave\web2py_win\web2py_win 2.14.6\web2py\gluon\html.py in elements at line 1104* Function argument list (self=<gluon.sqlhtml.SQLFORM object>, *args=(<built-in function input>,), **kargs={'_id': 'no_table_image_url', 'first_only': True}) 1103. 1104. 1105. 1106. 1107. 1108. >>> b = a.elements('span.efg', find_text=re.compile('x|y|z'), replace='hello') >>> print a <div><div><span class="abc">x</span><div><span class="efg">hello</span><span class="abc">z</span></div></div></div> """ if len(args) == 1: args = [a.strip() for a in args[0].split(',')] > > But if it is a SQLFORM, a better approach is probably to change the widget > associated with the DAL Field: > > db.mytable.myfield.widget = lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, > v, _autofocus=True) > > If you always want autofocus set for that field, you can do the above > within the DAL table definition. > > I tried setting the widget in the factoryfield def, and that doesn't seem to have an error, but doesn't autofocus. When the LOAD'ed form is submitted, I'm hoping to have the focus be on the factoryfield; when loading the page, the focus should be on the starting field of the main form (which is just SQLFORM()'d).
