Forms

Hi, I hope I am not posting in the wrong place.

I have a form that i would like for when you pull up the page that the cursor is already in the first block or "field" how do I get that to work?

I have looked all over in JS and looked through form tutorials, even crawled googles source because google is good example of what I want it to do. Just could not figure out what it was that was making it do that.

Thanks for the help guys!

The following JS should do it. Simply change "elementid" to the id of the field you want to receive focus.


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById("elementid").focus();
}
// -->
</script>

Use javascript focus() called by the body onLoad() function. Need more?

I cant get it to work

here is the code

<td><font color="#003082" face="Franklin Gothic Book"><b><font color="#003082">Order
Number</font></b></Font></td>
<td><input type="text" Name="Order_Number" size=06 maxlength=06></td>

does it have to do with it being "Name" instead of "Id"? I switch and tried both Id and Name.

I got it to work.

Had to add a name to the whole form not just the field.
Also had to have the JS after the form.

thanks for the help guys
