Focus in Textbox when the page is Loaded through Ajax

[webhead]

Because http actually *isn't* automatically assigning a value to response. I went back and looked at my AJAX frameworks, and it turns out that you have to manually do this.

Yeah. *sheepish grin*

So anyway, here's what initAjax *really* should look like (are we having fun yet?):

Having fun... like the time our driver's ed instructor hit the car in front when we asked him to show us parallel parking with real cars instead of cones... 8-)

function initAjax(url, callback) {
	var http = getHTTPObject(); 
	http.open("GET", url, true);
	http.onreadystatechange = function() {
		if (http.readyState == 4) { callback(http); } 
		};
	http.send(null);
	}

w00t! It lives!

But.... ::sobbing:: ... now there's no focus :-(

function initAjax(url, callback) {
	var http = getHTTPObject(); 
	http.open("GET", url, true);
	http.onreadystatechange = function() {
		if (http.readyState == 4) { callback(http); } 
		};
	http.send(null);
	}

function getTestpage() { 
	url = "afunc.php";
	initAjax(url, function (response) { 
			document.getElementById(theOutput).innerHTML = response.responseText;
			fldname.focus();
		});
	}

Hm. Your code is looking pretty good. The only thing I can think of is that fldname is not defined.

Check your error console and see what's going on.

This works:

function getTestpage() { 
	url = "afunc.php";
	initAjax(url, function (response) { 
			document.getElementById(theOutput).innerHTML = response.responseText;
			document.getElementById('fldname').focus();
		});
	}

Whew!

Felt like wandering in the desert for 40 years just to go 20 miles, but worth the trip because things were learned. Thanks again for all your help. :-)

On both sides (both parts :P).

You are most welcome. Come back anytime!
