Hi,
i'm trying this wonderful extension, and have a little question.
I've created my own form and wold want to gain autofocus on the first field when the form is showed.
Is possible to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi balrom,

you can use the domready event and do this, something like this :

<?php
$script = "
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    $('field_id').focus;
    });
";
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScriptDeclaration($script);
?>

in the form HTML box and replace field_id with the real field id!

Cheers

Thank you max, it works fine!!

I've made a little correction to your code, the javascript focus method must have the brackets ;-)
Regards.

<?php
$script = "
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    $('field_id').focus();
    });
";
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScriptDeclaration($script);
?>

Nice catch, thanks Bart! :wink:

Cheers,
Max
