[fugli] Re: Setting focus to a text field

[Bill Lane]

Your sample should work if your textfield is set to input or dynamic.  But you'll only see a difference if there is text in the field.  If on the other hand you are using the textInput component you need to use the UIComponent.setFocus method.  It looks like:   componentInstance.setFocus(); With this method you will see the cursor in the field regardless of whether there is text in the field.   Bill Lane >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/24/05 8:27 am >>> Good morning peoples.   Now I’ve written this small app and everything is working sweet.  Now I thought I’d put the finishing touches on it by placing focus on the first text field.   Now I’ve googled and looked at the documentation and it looks simple. Eg Selection.setFocus(“myText_txt”); I can’t seem to get this to work.  Is there a trick to this?   Cheers b    --- You are currently subscribed to fugli as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to fugli as: archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
