[RESOLVED] Mouse cursor

herbert_tan

Hi,

How can i set my mouse cursor in a textbox? So that whenever this page is loaded, the mouse cursor is inside the text box, which enables the user to type in the text box directly.

Thanks.

<body onload="document.getElementById('t1').focus();">
<input type="textbox" name="t1" id="t1">
</body>

I have tried your menthod but it can't work, i am still unable to get the cursor in the textbox.

My code:

<Body onload="document.getElementById('DateEvent').focus();">
<table border="0" cellpadding="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td height="30">Enter event date (yyyy-mm-dd):</td>
<td><input type="text" name="DateEvent"></td>
</tr>
</Body>

HI,
Before i give you the answer i want you to go though my code again. Just read it carefully.

remember if your using document.getElementById method of javascript you ALWAYS need to use an ID.

Look at your code,

<input type="text" name="DateEvent">

Where is the ID? 😃

Use an ID so it will work. Good luck

Hi Niroshan,

Yeah. I forget to add in the id. It is working now.

Thanks a lot.
