hi:
I've been unable to set the first field when a FP page with a form loads.
How can I do this?
Appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Gus
 
Hi Jon:

Thanks for your attention to my post. Here's what I put in the html, and it
works!

onload="FrontPage_Form1.FullName_.focus();"

Thanks again,

Gus

This is my first post, and I can't find out how to rate your post, which was
perfect. Can you help me learn how to do this?
Thanks for your trouble,

Hello Jon, I attempted the code you provided as well as the other. I can
not seem to get this to work. Does this need to be placed in a specific
location in the body?

It needs to replace or add to your current body tag. In other words, if
your body tag is currently this -

<body ...> (where the ellipsis represents any additional attributes,
including *none*)

then you would change it to this -

<body onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" ...>

(Note that you carry your pre-existing attributes and values, if any, into
this new body tag)

I have found the reason that I am having an issue regarding the focus of my
first field. I am using a Shared Border at the top of the page. Once I
remove the Shared Border, the onload works fine. How do I get around this?

Thanks

Is there a form in either top or left shared borders?

forms[0] refers to the first form in the HTML (view source in browser to
see the HTML, FrontPage does not display the HTML for shared borders)
and fields[0] refers to the first field in that form. If the form you
need to focus in is the second form on the page, then use
forms[1].fields[0]

Thanks for the quick response. I do not have any forms in the 'Top Shared'.
This works onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" as well as
onLoad="F1.T1.focus()" when the Shared Border is removed. But when
onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" is used I receive null or not
an object for a script error.

You can post the code here - change any references you don't want to be
made public. Make sure you get the code from View Source.

Before that, if the form is processed by the FrontPage extensions, try
changing fields[0] to fields[1] in the code. FP adds a hidden field at
the start of the form which fields[0] refers to.

Use this:

Works with and without top border.

Note that the first field in the form (elements[0]) is a hidden field.

I have found the reason that I am having an issue regarding the focus of my
first field. I am using a Shared Border at the top of the page. Once I
remove the Shared Border, the onload works fine. How do I get around this?

Thanks
David

It needs to replace or add to your current body tag. In other words, if
your body tag is currently this -

<body ...> (where the ellipsis represents any additional attributes,
including *none*)

then you would change it to this -

<body onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" ...>

(Note that you carry your pre-existing attributes and values, if any, into
this new body tag)

Hello Jon, I attempted the code you provided as well as the other. I can
not seem to get this to work. Does this need to be placed in a specific
location in the body?

Hi Gus,

<body onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();">

hi:
I've been unable to set the first field when a FP page with a form
loads.
How can I do this?
Appreciate any help.
Cheers,

I have resolved the issue ragarding the field focus. In the Top Shared
Border I had installed Banner Ad Manager. Once removed from the header,
Focus is working fine. Banner Ad Manager not being in FP2003, is there a
substiture for this?

Use this:

onload="document.forms[0].elements[1].focus()"

Works with and without top border.

Note that the first field in the form (elements[0]) is a hidden field.

This code is the Shared Border:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"><title>Shared Top Border</title><meta name="Microsoft
Theme" content="none">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="none">
</head><body>
Click to expand...

Code snipped
</body></html>

Thanks

You can post the code here - change any references you don't want to be
made public. Make sure you get the code from View Source.

Before that, if the form is processed by the FrontPage extensions, try
changing fields[0] to fields[1] in the code. FP adds a hidden field at
the start of the form which fields[0] refers to.

Thanks for the quick response. I do not have any forms in the 'Top Shared'.
This works onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" as well as
onLoad="F1.T1.focus()" when the Shared Border is removed. But when
onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();" is used I receive null or not
an object for a script error.

David

:

Is there a form in either top or left shared borders?

forms[0] refers to the first form in the HTML (view source in browser to
see the HTML, FrontPage does not display the HTML for shared borders)
and fields[0] refers to the first field in that form. If the form you
need to focus in is the second form on the page, then use
forms[1].fields[0]

Strange, I had no problems after changing "fields" to "elements" and
changing the element index to 1.

Look for a JavaScript image rotator.
