How to set focus on a textbox in a framed page (the page is loaded in a frame).

[Sampath Athreya]

This is my javascript file

function signin_check()
{
	var e_id=document.getElementById("abcd");
	var paswd=document.getElementById("bcd");

	if(e_id.value=="")
	{
		alert("Please enter your username/email address");		
		e_id.focus();
	}
	else if(paswd.value=="")
	{
		alert("Please enter the password");
		paswd.focus();
	}
	else
	{
		var a=document.getElementById("signinform");
		a.setAttribute('action', 'home.xhtml');
	}

}

.focus() doesnt seem to work

is the script located in the iframe too or is it in the parent page?

[Sampath Athreya]

The script is in a separate .js file. The file is called from the page where the textbox is located.

so the js file is included in the page that is loaded in the iframe -> does any error occur in FF error console? when is the function called exactly ...

[Sampath Athreya]

I'm not sure i understand the error console u mentioned.. And its not iframe. The frames are implemented using frameset tags. The function is called when i click on a submit button... Basically doing form checking.

in fiefox click on extras -> Error console ... scroll down to the and and tell what error is displayed?

kind regards
