Hello,

I'm creating a HTML page with Xbasee++ which contains 3 buttons and an input
field.  Everything is working correct.  One thing that I can't complish is
the focus.

When the page is shown in the browser, it would be easy for the user if the
focus is already in the input field.  So she/he can enter the data
immediately, without clicking in the field first.

Anyone who knows if this is possible?

Bye,

Chris Andries.

This little example demonstrates one way ...

Easy as pie.

<form name="myform" ...>
  <input type="text" name="input1">
</form>

<script>
document.myform.input1.focus()
</script>

Hi Phil,

Yes, couldn't be easier.  Thanks.

The following problem i have is how to control the ENTER key in a html page.

I have three input fields, and i have three buttons.  SEEK - MENU - PREVIOUS

If the user enters data in one of the the input fields and presses OK, i
want the seek button be executed.  If he presses the TAB key, he skips to
the next input field.

I hope as easy for you as the previous question?

Bye,

Chris Andries.

per default, ENTER only works with a single submit button.

Everything elsa has to be done with jscript... one of the eventhandlers
onKeydown, onKeyPress, onKeyup should be the right one to accomplish what
you want.

Hello Thomas,

The sample has two buttons and is working as i prefer.  I just don't know
why the first button is 'pre-selected'.  I thought it was because of the
OK-label, but it isn't.

Bye,

Chris.

Does it? I was always thinking that ENTER is not working with two
buttons... so I'm wrong
