form focus using PDEditor
16 Mar 2003 14:21:14 Joe Glab posted:
I am using the PD HTML Editor and everything is fine except for the form focus. The cursor focuses on the editor when I load the page but I'd like the focus to be on a different field in my form. I put the proper javascript into my form but it's being overridden by the PD editor code somewhere. I tried to delete this code:// Set the focus to the editor
function setFocus() {
textEdit.focus()
}
in pd_edit.html but it didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks.

<script language="JavaScript">
document.FORM_NAME.ELEMENT_NAME.focus();

</font id=code></pre id=code>

switch to codeview and paste it inside your <form> tags, that way you are sure it works.

It's not working. The focus still goes to the PD Editor. It's got some kind of spell on my form! There is obviously code somewhere in the pd_edit,html file that I can't locate.

Open the page pd_edit.htm and edit this code, it's near the top:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
// Set the focus to the editor
function setFocus() {
textEdit.focus()
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
you want to replace textEdit with your own formfield.
