Set focus to a div 1

[markros]

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to set focus to a div (not a textbox)? Im trying the following code from ASP.NET application, but it is not working:

var Round = document.getElementById('round')
                           if (Round) {
                                 Round.focus;
                                 Effect.Pulsate('round',1,0.7);}

I don't think you can do that, but you could create an anchor, and got to it?

Sounds like a good idea, can you give me a bit more details here?

Thanks again.

Try googling for: html anchor. Or go directly to

http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp

for more detail.

Basically, add an anchor before your div:

<a name="GoToRound"></a><div id="round>.....</div>

In the javascript, instead of setting focus, set the href, eg:

if (round) {
    location.href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.myDomain.com/myPage#GoToRound";[/URL]
}

markros,

Note that putting an anchor around a div is invalid markup, and will break any page validation you may have.

Dan,

Would you please elaborate a bit more here? Also we're not putting anchor around div, we're placing it right before it...

Aaah gotcha - I mis-read the code.

Unfortunately the idea doesn't seem to work in my complex page

Not sure what you mean here... but can you get it to work on a 'simple' test page?

Unfortunately I want to make it to work in my complex AJAX ASPX page
