set focus

[tjbarr]

How can I set focus to the textbox 'surv' when this hyperlink is clicked?

<a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility('surv');">

Click here if surveyor is not in drop down list</a><div id="surv" style='display:none;'>

This can be done with client side scripting, not PHP. Refer to the ClientSide Technologies forum.

I'm confused... you talk about setting the focus on a textbook, but your code shows a hidden DIV with the id of 'surv'. Which is it?

If it's the latter of the two, try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle_visibility(id) {
	var obj = document.getElementById(id);
	if(obj)
			obj.style.display = (obj.style.display == "none" ? "block" : "none");
}
</script>

else it's simply:

<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle_visibility(id) {
	var obj = document.getElementById(id);
	if(obj)
		obj.focus();
}
</script>
