move cursor to a section

[davejr]

I have successfully used g_tabs2Sections.setActive(X);   to highlight/activate a section in a form from (1) an onChange client script and (2) from a UI action button,

but the customer wants the users cursor to be placed in that section also.   Can we do that ?   Thank you.

I think you would just have to set the focus to be the first field in the section. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a great way to automatically get the first field in the section so you'd have to hardcode the field name. Something like this:

g_form.getControl('fieldname').focus();

Thank you !

I thought I had this working last week.

Since then that environment was cloned over from production.

When I recreate it no longer works - in chrome or firefox.

I can activate the section   - but the cursor is not going to the "focus" field.

I found the prolem, which I corrected.   the "focus" is working as desired - my cursor goes straight to the specified field.   Thanks again !
