move cursor to a section

davejr · ‎11-10-2015

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();

HI Brad,

In reopen UI action, I am using following 3 lines.But g_form.getControl('comments').focus(); is not focusing additional comments field . Is any way to do this ?

g_form.setMandatory('comments', true);
g_form.addErrorMessage('Please enter the comments ');
g_form.getControl('comments').focus();
