can someone pls give me a hint how i can set the focus into a particular field of a form. i.e. for example i would like that when a user clicks the "reset button", i would like that the first field of the form will get the focus.

thx for your help!

The code below is stolen from W3Schools.com (To view the link you have to Register). Hope it helps.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setfocus()
{
document.forms[0].field.focus()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="field" size="30">
<input type="button" value="Get Focus" onclick="setfocus()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

This also applies to windows.

EX:

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

 <title>Window Focus Example</title>

 <script type="text/javascript">

  var myWin = window.open(); // opens new window

  myWin.document.write('new window'); // writes text to new window

  self.focus(); // brings first window back into focus



  function myWinFocus() {

   /* this next line waits 5 seconds... */

   setTimeout('myWin.focus()',5000); // then focuses the window you opened

  }

 </script>

</head>

<body onLoad="myWinFocus()">

 <!-- some html stuff here  -->

</body>

</html>
