FYI: I checked into how Struts renders <html:form focus="fieldName" ...>, and it simply adds the following lines after the end of the form:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.forms["viewName:formName"].elements["viewName:formName:fieldNam e"].focus(); // --> </script> Is that something we can build into a <t:form> component? Does anyone know whether something like this will be in the next standard for <h:form>? I'll submit a JIRA suggested enhancement for this, since I believe it could be quite useful. - Brendan > -----Original Message----- > From: CONNER, BRENDAN (SBCSI) > Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 10:03 AM > To: 'MyFaces Discussion' > Subject: Help!
