Having installed an enhanced search facility to boost the search capabilities originally provided by search.asp. Is it possible to focus the cursor into the Keywords field on the form opening.
We have the following code for the Keywords field:
Response.Write "<input type=""text"" name=""Search"" size=""25"" value=""" & Trim(chkString(Request.QueryString("Search"),"search")) & """><br />" & vbCrLf
kind regards Andy< |

Add an id attribute to your input tag and then add the following line to your javascript's onload function:document.getElementById("yourid").focus()< |
 Search is your friend
“I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the
fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had
taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.” |

Thank you for this but where is the javascript onload function? and where would I have to add an id attribute..
I have seen this bit of code in post.asp
Response.Write " <script language=""JavaScript"" type=""text/javascript"">document.PostTopic.Message.focus();</script>" & vbNewLine
Any additional help, as always is greatly appreciated.. steep learning curve here!

You'll need to add an onload function to inc_header.asp (the javascript begins on line 234) as follows:function loader(){
document.getElementById("yourid").focus()
}
window.onload=loaderWhere yourid is the value of the id attribute which, as stated, you need to add to your input tag.

Hey Shaggy, since that JS will be added to the routines after 234,
should they be in Response.Write format? And if so, the ID tag will need double "" enclosures.
"function loader(){" & vbNewLine & _
" document.getElementById(""yourid"").focus()" & vbNewLine & _
"}" & vbNewLine & _
"window.onload=loader" & vbNewLine & _

Leatherlips, I have not got round to installing the code yet, correct me if I am wrong others, but the onload=""searchfocus"" could be id=""searchfocus""
I think that is what I understand from Shaggy's notion of input tag< |

With "Where yourid is the value of the id attribute which, as stated, you need to add to your input tag" in mind, could you expand and help..< |

| You need to search for "input" (the line that actually requests data) in the forms of your post.asp and/or search_mod.asp/search.asp, wherever you want the focus. Add the id=""whatever"" tag to each.< |

Tried all the above and errors occur..
Looking at post.asp which focuses..
This is the message area code:
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><textarea id=""ta1"" class=""textarea"" cols=""" & intCols & """ name=""Message"" rows=""" & intRows & """ wrap=""VIRTUAL"" onselect=""storeCaret(this);"" onclick=""storeCaret(this);"" onkeyup=""storeCaret(this);"" onchange=""storeCaret(this);"">" & Trim(CleanCode(TxtMsg)) & "</textarea><br /></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
select case strRqMethod
case "Reply", "ReplyQuote", "TopicQuote"
Response.Write " <script language=""JavaScript"" type=""text/javascript"">document.PostTopic.Message.focus();</script>" & vbNewLine
end select
is there away to almalgamate the focus script above into the search_mod script here:
Response.Write "<input type=""text"" name=""Search"" size=""25"" value=""" & Trim(chkString(Request.QueryString("Search"),"search")) & """><br />" & vbCrLf
What settings are required for: document.PostTopic.Message.focus< |

| The "PostTopic" part is the name of the form, and the "Message" part is the name of the field you want to give focus to. Find the name of the form, and the item you posted above is named "Search". HTH< |

Thank you..Sorted..
For the others to see the solution:
Search_mod.asp line 906 (approx) add items in red
Response.Write "<input type=""text"" id=""ffind"" name=""Search"" size=""25"" value=""" & Trim(chkString(Request.QueryString("Search"),"search")) & """><br />" & vbCrLf
then below that add:
Response.Write " <script language=""JavaScript"" type=""text/javascript"">document.SearchForm.ffind.focus();</script>" & vbNewLine
