Form Field Focus

[toddsalcedo]

I have a form with numerous fields, some of which when selected cause other form fields to appear. When the page relods it goes back to the top of the form. Does anyone know of a way to force it to focus on the field that was last selected? I've tried numerous things and can't seem to get it to work properly.

if you can identify which field it is then you can pass that back and simply call the .focus() method of the form field.

are you doing this is straight HTML or do you have another scripting language (i.e. PHP / ASP) running along side of it?

What are you using to re-load the page?

Can you provide some of your code, would make it easier to just add a few things to get it working for you, rather than trying to guess how you have it working so far

This is the code for the page reload:

function refreshwindow1(){
var form = document.forms[0];
var pageurl = "<%=Request.ServerVariables("URL")%>";
var servername = "<%=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")%>";
var sitepath = "<%=Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")%>";
var query = "<%=Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")%>";
var ModelSeries = "<%=request.QueryString("ModelSeries")%>";
var Effectivity = "<%=request.QueryString("Effectivity")%>";
var cert_plan = "<%=request.QueryString("cert_plan")%>";
var cert_phases = "<%=request.QueryString("cert_phases")%>";
var master_cert = "<%=request.QueryString("master_cert")%>";

for (var i = 0; i < form.master_cert.length; i++){
if (form.master_cert.options.selected){
var master_certTemp = form.master_cert.options.value;
}
}
