That works too, Karl. Can you explain how it works?
An interesting thing I just noticed in IE7 is that on http://test.danen.org/secure/register.htm the first, second, and fourth fields are yellow. Bizarre. If this list allows attachments, I can share a partial screenshot. Otherwise check the url. IE drives me to drinking. :( Gerry On 1/15/07, Karl Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Or try > > $(function() { > $('#second_field_to_enter,#first_field_to_enter')[0].focus(); > }); > > Karl Rudd > > On 1/16/07, Gerry Danen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In this piece of code (common to a number of pages) I want to set > > focus to a second input field if there is one. > > > > $(function() { > > $("#first_field_to_enter")[0].focus(); > > $("#second_field_to_enter")[0].focus(); > > }); > > > > If the second input field is present, focus is on the second field.
