Re: Re: cursor focus

If you -could- use Javascript, it looks something like this: document.formName.textfieldName.focus() Steven J. Walker Walker Effects www.walkereffects.com steve@walkereffects.com On Sunday, March 3, 2002, at 12:55 PM, Markas wrote:

Hi, PHP will do NOTHING with cursor position in your page, because it's running on server. Perhaps what you've read is generating some Javascript (which actually places the cursor) with PHP... Hmmm, if you are not running Javascript, maybe an attribute TABINDEX, which almost every html tag has, would help, but sorry if i'm mistaken, didnt check that...

I am not running Javascript, just PHP/HTML... THe particular script I am having problems with has several decision

points

and includes which I think is confusing the placement of the cursor "Gaylen Fraley" <gfraley5@earthlink.net> wrote in message news:20020303043211.39695.qmail@pb1.pair.com...

This is not a php question. It is a JavaScript issue. You need to add

this

code to the bottom of your page: <script>

    document.forms[0].text_box_name.focus();

This is really a newbie question, but here goes..... I am running PHP4 with Apache on Redhat 6.2. I am sure I read this somewheres, but can't find it again. When I open

a

webpage in a small password application that I wrote, the cursor is

not

on

the first text box I need to fill in, I need to click on the text box

to

begin typing. How do I get the cursor to "focus" on this text box? Many thanks in advance Ralph
