I know I have asked this question before and had it answered, but I can't seem to find the question in the forum...

Anyway, here goes:

How do I set the cursor to blink in the username-field when opening the loginpage?

Set focus on the element onLoad

Thank you, Simon <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

In case anybody is wondering how this is done:

Wrap it all into a script-function in your body section

window.onload = function()
{
var inputCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("input";
for(var i = 0; i &lt; inputCollection.length; i++)
{
var controlType = inputCollection[i].getAttribute('type');
if(controlType.toLowerCase() == 'text')
{
inputCollection[i].focus();
return;
}
}
}

This script is supposed to set focus to the first element on your side
where input is needed, for ex the login box with the username textfield.

Have tested this myself and it worked out just fine!

or you can just set focus on the field in the body tag like so :

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
onLoad="document.formname.fieldname.focus()"
</font id=code></pre id=code>

and change "fieldname" to match your textbox name.

Yepp, that would be much easier <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>or you can just set focus on the field in the body tag like so :

Yup. Also, I think someone released a freebie extension on &lt;a href="www.macromedia.com/exchange/"&gt;Macromedia.com/exchange/&lt;/a&gt;...<i>If</i> I remember right. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
