focussing a link using javascript

[fisa]

Hi All,

I have an html page containing an external link and a submit button. Onclick of the submit button I call a java script function. What I need to do in this function is , if some conditions are satisfied I need the focus shifting to the external link.

How can I accompish this? I have used focus() method for text fields , but I have no idea on how to do the same for links. Please shed some light..

This is a bit urgent

Then maybe you should hire a contractor who will give you an instant answer.

Not exactly sure what is meant by external link. Is this <a href="some external link"> what is meant by that?

In that case or similar, give the element an id (ext_id, say). Then get its reference and use the scrollIntoView(bAlignTop) method. Like this.

document.getElementById("ext_id").scrollIntoView();

Id is just a way to get to it. You can use whatever means available to get to the same.
