HTML - Input Box Not Accepting Focus... #1

I have some anchor tags in my user control ...now when i use tab key from key board and navigate to this anchor and press enter it opens a new window and after i am done with this new window (let's say i close it)and again press tab key the focus is moving out to another element in the control but not back to the same anchor.

Instead of key board if i use mouse click and then press tab key the focus is coming back to the same anchor.

How can i set the focus back on to the same anchor while i use key board tab.

I have a html table in my web page, and this table contains some input elements (like text box, btton etc) as cell data. I have implemeted a functionality to navigate through each cell by arrow keys. Now i want to set the focus to the cell data (button or textbox) with arrow key navigation.

html table code snippet -


<td id="testTd"><input id="testButton" type="button" value="test" onclick="alert('test clicked!!')"/></td>

While navigating through keyboard i get the id of button but when i try to set focus, it does not seem to be working

javascript code snippet -

var td = tabMatrix[rmove][cmove].firstChild;
alert(td.id); // here i get the id of button
var button = document.getElementById(td.id);
button.focus;

any help or pointers would be of great help.

I am working on an HTML form that has 4 buttons: Not Me (to signify that the information returned at the top of the form is not correct), then there are additional fields and three more buttons at the bottom of the form: Clear, Cancel and Submit.

[NOT ME]

[CLEAR] [CANCEL] [SUBMIT]

I want to place the cursor in the first field, which I can do with javascript (document.getElementById('1').focus()), but when I do the NOT ME button highlights as the button in focus.

If any button has to retain focus, I want it to be the SUBMIT button, not the first button on the page. However, if I control the cursor and insert it into the first field, I can't seem to get control of the button independently. I have tried many things, including assigning ID, tab order, and even creating the buttons with javascript separately, but the browser seems to demand focus on that first button even when I remove the focus from the button before placing the cursor:

window.document.focus
document.getElementById('1').focus()

Is there a separate commend by which I can control the focus of the buttons ?
Is there a way to set focus on two items at the same time (i.e., the correct button and the entry field)?

I am using CSS and feildsets to define a custom look for the forms, but I assume that really doesn't make a difference.

ANY IDEAS?

Ok, I have a button in the main site and when it is clicked a pop up window opens and the user can navigate and do whatever. Then they can go back to the main site and click another button which is supposed to then give focus to the pop up window again (just a different part).

Here's the thing: It works just fine in Safari. Whenever a button is clicked the focus goes back to the popup window, yet every other browser seems to keep the popup window behind.

Any idea of how to FORCE the popup window to have focus?

Thanks.

hi all,

i included "http://www.mapsofindia.com/pincode/index.html" page in my web page & now want to focus on search zip code table but don't know how to focus on that table.can any 1 help. I am waiting.

I have a site I'm working on, and I have a flash demo movie that users can view. However, in Internet Explorer (so I'm told) You have to click once to "focus" on the flash movie, then you have to click again on the actual play button.

You can view the problem from IE6 he (not sure about IE7)
Click on the "view online demo" button below the header, and the movie slides out.

I would like IE to focus on the movie without clicking, so users only have to click once to "play" the movie.

Any help is greatly appreciated, and feel free to talk to me like I'm a fifth grader, I really would like to understand this.

Ok so here is my issue, i am new to web site design and i have a simple project i would like to work on.
I am looking to have an entry box with a simple submit button, then i would like the submissions to be displayed below in the order they are submitted. I would also like to limit the number of submissions that show on the page at a given time by creating multiple pages that can be viewed.
This seems like a very simple issue but im having trouble finding solutions on the web. Would inserting a java app or some other secondary tool be better?

Any help is appreciated

Hi,

I want to change the background color of my textbox on focus and change it back to white on onblur event.

Issue:
When i change the back ground color for text box on focus it properly changes it.
But when i leave the focus from textbox border color for text box is impacted and its changed to white.

Please help so that border color for textbox is not impacted only background color should change

here is the sample code

<code>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<p>
<input name="text1" type="text" id="text1" value="textbox 1" onfocus="this.style.background ='#cad5df'" onblur="this.style.background='white'">
</p>
<p>
<input name="text2" type="text" id="text2" value="textbox 2" onFocus="this.style.background = 'yellow'" onBlur="this.style.background='white'">
</p>
</body>
</html>
</code>

I have a site that has 3 frames: top, menu and pgmframe. The frame "pgmframe" contains the "dynamic" content. A user signs on, and has options in the "menu" frame that allow them to navigate the site.

What I would like to have happen is for the page to set focus on the "pgmframe" frame so that if the user decides to click the print button on their browser, it will ONLY print the contents of "pgmframe".

I have already done some research and it seems that the only way to do this is with a print button. Is this true? If not, how can you set focus on a frame so that when the user clicks print on their browser, it prints only the pgmframe.

hey guys, im really new to html.
there is probably something really obvious that im missing here but,
say i have and input box in html, what would i do in the onchange event to alert what the user typed in:

<input type="text" onchange=(??!!)>

for instance, if there was an input box and the user typed in "hello" into it, what would i put in the onchange event to alert "hello"

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks
