Window.Focus()

Scenerio:

A parent Window contains a popup window which has the virtual keyboard from which you can type in a textbox in parent window.

when i refresh the parent window then i am not able to type from the poped up window (virtual keyboard).

i want to set the focus back to the textbox in parent window, so that i can type from the popup window in the text box.

how can i do it ?

i used onload()=window.focuc(); but is not working !

hi rahimzai,

you can try this
if you are using the texbox inside a form>>>>
<body onload="document.form1.textboxname.focus();">
<form name="form1">.........

if you are using the texbox inside a body>>>>
<body onload="window.textboxname.focus();">

this should work!!!

thanks ,

thanks but it is not working
i think when i get the focus on the textbox in the parent window it works but when the parent window is refreshed ( re-loaded ) then the popuped keyboard window is disconected from it so it cannot input in the textbox in the parent window. so i think i have to put somthing in the body tag of my parent window to focus over the popup window after re-loading. can i do this !?

i couldnt get you ...

how you are opening up that popup window ?

is it onload of the parent window or onclick some link/button/image you are opening that popup?

if it is onload then it will work naturally... if it is on click of some thing then there is problem... :((

each time you have to check each time and then set the focusess accordingly

may be you can use
mywindow=window.open("child.html")
mywindow.focus();
