How to focus on field?

Hello,

I’m looking for a dhtmlxForm method that will put the focus on a form field.

I had tried

myForm.setItemFocus("myFieldName");

and several variations of it, but I get a JavaScript error saying the object doesn’t support the method.

Thank you.

Hi,

Have you tried using the DOM?, I mean something like this:
.
.
.
var formData =
[{type: “input”, name: “usrLogin”, value:"", label:“User:”},
{type: “password”, name: “usrPasswd”, value: “”, label: “Password:”},
{type: “label”, name: “statLogin”,label: “STATUS:”},
{type: “button”, name: “btnLogin”, value: “Login”, command: “sendServer”},
];

var objForm = loginWindow.attachForm(formData);

document.getElementsByName(“usrLogin”).item(0).focus();
objForm.attachEvent(“onButtonClick”, function (name, cmd)
.
.
.
and you’re done. Hope it helps

Hello,

Please specify form version?

#5
document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].focus(); or window.setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].focus(); }, 500);
#6

myForm.setItemFocus(“myItem”);

#7

have to wait to load the XML.

not found:

form.setItemFocus('name');

found:

window.setTimeout(function(){
      form.setItemFocus('name');
}, 500);

I see
In this way you need the next:

myForm.loadStruct("xml/form.xml", function(){ form.setItemFocus('name') });
