client script, variable, focus

[scottl]

In the Service Portal, how does one get a form element variable, of a catalog item, within a client script so one can set the focus on that input?

CORRECTION - to fix the issue with the showFieldMsg, be sure to set the scroll form parameter to false

Method Detail	Parameters	Example
showFieldMsg(input, message, type, [scrollform])	input - name of the field or control message - message you would like to display type - either 'info' or 'error', defaults to info if not supplied scroll form - (optional) Set scrollForm to false to prevent scrolling to the field message offscreen.

Yep, that would do it ~

To focus on a field in record producer on portal side copy and paste the below code in your onload client script and replace the "011a705e1355d348eb633598d144b023" with the sys_id of that field.

setTimeout("var refocus = document.getElementById('sp_formfield_IO:011a705e1355d348eb633598d144b023');refocus.focus();",0);

Thanks,
