    Setting Focus

    Currently in my html document I use the onload command inthe body section to
    set the focus to a certain field.

    eg

    onload="documen t.form1.SerialN o.focus()"

    Is there a way to set the focus to another field in a different frame other
    than the one that the current document is in?

    In my example, I have a frame called "top" that I would like the focus
    setting to whenever a certain document is loaded in the frame "main".

    My apologies if this is posted in the wrong newsgroup.

    TIA

    Darren.

      I'd rename the frame "top" something like "topframe" so it isn't
      confused with the top level of the frame tree. You can read about that
      here if you're not familiar with it already:

      I'd try something like this:

      <body onload="top.fra mename.document .formname.input fieldname.focus ()">

          Excellent!!!

          That worked a treat.

          As you said, I needed to rename the frame.

          Thanks for that.

          Darren.
