focus()

JustWondering · Sep 2, 2003

Hi:

What is the eqhivalent ASP code in server site for this statement:

Document.Form.txtName.focus() ?

Thanks

The equivalent is:

Code:

Document.Form.txtName.focus()

That’s because on the server there is no Document object nor Form object. There are only server side objects. Therefore there are no window controls to set the focus on. Then the server processing results in HTML text that is streamed back to the browser. Upon parsing the HTML text, the browser instantiates the DOM objects.

You could include that JavaScript command in the text stream palbano mentions though..

Code:

Response.Write(&quot;<body onload=&quot;&quot;Document.Form.txtName.focus();&quot;&quot;>&quot;)

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]

Code:

[/ignore][code]CodeHere

[ignore][/code][/ignore].

"You could include..."

Are you suggesting there is another way to get the script to the browser besides streaming it or a <script src=""> tag to the browser from the ASP page?

palbano: nope

"You could include..."
Just being polite. The unspoken other option was not including it, and not some other magic way of calling client-side objects from your server-side script.
