onload and 2 commands...

jodleren · Mar 15, 2007

Hi all!

I havent used java that much, and lately I updated from M$ java to SUN
(due to my bank).

Before, this worked:
<body onload="SetFocus(); window.focus();">

now, it does not. SetFocus() is included as:
<script language="JavaScript" src="mystuff.js"></script>

Though, this gives an alert:
<body onload="SetFocus(); window.focus();alert('hello')">

What is the difference and the trick here?

Yeh I ran up against this too. Here's my solution:

<body onload="DoThings();">

function DoThings() { SetFocus(); window.focus() ; }

....which has nothing to do with JavaScript.

I do not see any error, especially any error that would result from an updated JVM.

You might try:

window.onload = SetFocus;

....inside your mystuff.js.

That should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="mystuff.js"></script>

But this isn't Java, it's Javascript, which is unrelated.
Knowing what "now, it does not" means might help. Do you
see an error message?

The idea crossed my mind after I wrote this, it did not work.

By some odd reason, the page scroll the item into focus, but it does
not get focus.

The SetFocus() is like this:

function SetFocus()
{
v = document.forms[0];
j=0;
while( (j < v.elements.length) &&
(v.elements[j].type.toLowerCase() == "hidden"))
j++;
if(j < v.elements.length)
{
v.elements[j].focus();
}
}

Set focus, to the first item which is not hidden.

Sorry about the mistake. Will correct.

I have a file-input, which got a cursor before, now it only scrolls
into focus (but no cursor). It works at work, but not a home. I wonder
whether it tries to focus a hidden input.... maybe I should move them
to the end of my form?
BTW, the other odd thing is, that when I use by bank
(www.amagerbanken.net), then no scripts works afterwards. I have to
restart my computer.

The SetFocus script is added above.

I may be wrong but have you tried putting the "window.focus()" before
the SetFocus call? It's possible that the control is getting focus then
the window is which removes focus from the control.
