how to set focus to checkbox programmatically?

How can I execute javascript to set focus to a checkbox control in a form?

form.setItemFocus(“myCB”); doesn’t work

form.getInput(“myCB”) returns null

#2

getting closer:

form.getCombo(“combo1”).setFocus();

will focus the combo. However, if it is focused by tabbing via keyboard, the contents are also selected. How can I select the contents via javascript?

the following are ignored:
form.getCombo(“combo1”).selectionStart = 0;
form.getCombo(“combo1”).selectionEnd = 200;

(not a surprise as selectionStart, selectionEnd do not occur within dhtmlxcombo.js)

#3

form.setItemFocus(“myCB”) work fine locally. make sure you have item with name:“myCB”
