Re: input box focus
Use the following JS code once the page is loaded: document.getElementById ( 'input_id' ).focus(); Obviously, 'input_id' is the value of the id attribute for the textbox.

Re: input box focus
Dave -
Try this:
script language=JavaScript
window.onload = function() {
document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus()
};
/script
I can't swear to this for built-in functions like focus(), but if I
were calling a custom function, I would need to leave the parentheses
off of your original statement.
window.onload = mycustomfunction(); // would not work
window.onload = mycustomfunction; // would work
Maybe focus() operates the same way?

RE: input box focus
It might just be CF's auto-generated JavaScript messing things up. On a site I've been working on we've been using plain HTML forms, but on one page we needed to use CFFORM. That one page messed with the focus and caused us to jump through a bunch of hoops so that it didn't break our 508 compliance. I ended up putting JavaScript at the bottom of the page (just before the closing BODY tag) to put the focus where I wanted it. -Original Message- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 2:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: input box focus Perhaps CFFORM is messing with the form name? try a normal form tag and see if that helps ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237592 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

The over problem with the code is the coding within the inline javascript. It is case sensitive, i.e. myform is not the same as myForm. Once I changed that, it works beautifully. Thanks all!

Re: input box focus
I'd recommend using the getElementById over the formname.fieldname.focus().
And JS is parsed as it's read, for the most part, so simply putting
scriptdocument.getElementById('fieldIDGoesHere').focus()/script
AFTER the field should work. The bottom might be safer, and window.onload
is swell if you have a multi window.onload function, as lots of JS stuff
uses
it, so a single window.onload = someFunction() kills other stuff, whereas
