Cursor Positioning using BEA/WLW HTML

bedolido · October 18th, 2004, 03:21 PM

I am using BEA/WLW and need to place the cursor at the first open <netui:textBox>. I have tried using onLoad setting focus and a few others w/o success.

I am a relatively new to WLW so if you do answer... use small words like "the", "or" and "how" (kidding).

You would think WLW would have an automatic cursor positioning feature like CICS (old mainframe programmer here).

Any help is appreciated. The following doesn't work. However, I was told it should've worked.

example:

<body onload="this.document.userIntfNumb.focus()">

<script language="javascript">
    function infocus() {
    var field = document.getElementById("userIntfNumb");
    field.focus(); }
</script>

What is the code for the textbox? Is there an ID assigned to it, called userIntfNumb? Replace the body onload event handler with onload='infocus()', and let me know how it works.
