Hi
How can I select all the text in a combo box when it receives focus?
Thanks
Hi
Use the next approach:
myForm = new dhtmlXForm("form1", formData);
cmb = myForm.getCombo("color_combo");
myForm.attachEvent("onFocus", function(name, value){
if(name == "color_combo"){
cmb.DOMelem_input.select();
}
});
Thank you Darya
It didn’t quite accomplish what I wanted to though.
After the combo box opens it takes the selection away again.
I have a combo in a form (so I have both’s events to work with), and what my intention is to have all text selected when the combo box is clicked.
I have filtering enabled, so the user would then start typing straight away because the text is selected.
I have tried the onOpen event but no success.
Do you have any ideas?
Regards
You can add also:
cmb.attachEvent("onSelectionChange", function(){
cmb.DOMelem_input.select();
});
