Set focus on selected form field

yerbarao

Hello.

I have funny problem.

For test purposes i created simple code for input text field and after submit it (by enter key) display its value inside table.

$qf = $this->init_module('Libs/QuickForm');
$qf->addElement('text','var_matrix',__('TextField1:'));
if ($qf->validate()) {
$qf_val = $qf->exportValues();
eval_js('document.getElementById(\'var_matrix\').value=\'\';focus_by_id(\'var_matrix\')'); //This is a problem - solution based on easy shoutbox module from documentation
}
$qf->display();
$gb = $this->init_module('Utils/GenericBrowser',null,'table1');
$gb->set_table_columns(array(
array('name'=>__('Someting'), 'width'=>100) //not important for this example
));
$gb->add_row($qf_val['var_matrix']); /display value from TextField1
$this->display_module($gb);

Questions:

1: Why focus on TextField1 (after submit) is not working?
2: How can I implicity set focus on TextField1?
3: How can I define tab swithing order between addidtional (not defined in that example) form fields (not standard order).

Best regards

Your element doesn't have id property 😉
Use inspector to check this.



$qf->addElement('text','var_matrix',__('TextField1:'));

second parameter is name for input tag.
To set id you should pass parameter with html properties like this



$qf->addElement('text','var_matrix',__('TextField1:'), array('id'=>'var_matrix'));
