How do I move the focus to a link? 1

[hirick]

I want to put my "Previous Page" and "Next Page" links into a separate frame, so they'll always be in the same place and I don't need to copy them into every page.

When I tab to the frame, first the window gets focus, and then I need to tab to the Previous Page link.

I've tried to catch the onfocus in the frame window and set the focus to my first link, but it says the object doesn't exist. I've tried changing the tabIndex, and that doesn't do anything.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried:

if(document.all)onFocus = document.all['linkName'].focus();
// variations for other browsers.
Sometimes it seems to matter how you address stuff. So you give your link an id, and try the code above - put it in your body tag, and it should focus on the link when that frame recieves the focus.

If it says the object doesn't exist - then that implies there is an addressing issue, and you may need to look @ your syntax.

I think tabindex is for forms only.

This works! I wouldn't have thought of that combination.
Thank you.
