What i want is this: component.add(new ajaxbehaviour("onfocus"))
then in the onEvent i do ajaxtarget.add(component) but then the focus is gone. So what should happen is that the focus is tracked on the page and when a ajax request comes back then it does focus() again. What we also can do is that i do it on the server side: onEvent(AjaxTarget) { ajaxtarget.add(component); ajaxtarget.setFocus(component,ignoreEvents) } then i can controll it on the serverside completely johan On 2/19/07, Johan Compagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
