Focusing to the first element

[azaleas]

I have a panel with bunch of controls in it and when I run the form in Chrome, scroll down to one of the controls on bottom and click a button, browser directly focuses to the first element in my panel. It isnt happening on IE11.

How can I fix this?

Try

controls.CONTROLNAME.requestFocus();

No luck. Any other suggestions?

Hi,

Focus will only be gained to the first enterable field if the page is first loaded or you go to a new page.

I tested a form with some enterable fields on and a button. I click the button and this is the behavior:

Chrome - This focuses to the first enterable field.
Firefox - Does not focus on the enterable field, leaves the focus on the button.
IE 11 - Does not focus on the enterable field, leaves the focus on the button.

I believe that Firefox and IE is correct. Chrome is not.

To gain focus to my enterable field in all 3 browsers above I added:

Code: Select all

controls.MyControl.requestFocus(); 

to the bottom of my script.

This worked in all 3 cases.

Thanks for answers guys. I managed to make it work. My button was adding a row to a table. So, I had to requestFocus() on table column.
