Re: [ic] Form field auto focus

field when my page loads. I've found that this can be done using

<body onLoad=”FormName.FieldName.focus();”>
where FormName is the name of the form and FieldName is the name of the desire field.
I'm having trouble getting this to work in my IC page where my form's name is [area search]. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi DB,

Is your form name [area search] or is that the target of the form?

Hi - my page uses:

<form action="[area search]" method=post>
....

thanks for any hints....

DB


Try setting the name parameter:

<form action="[area search]" method=post name="search">
....
</form>

And then as Jordan suggested try:

<body onload="document.search.fieldname.focus();">

Replace fieldname with the name of the field you would like to set focus to.
