When a page is opened is there a way to set focus of the cursor to a named
input.
I want the cursor to be in the input box when the page is opened.
Thanks

Using client-side script, not ASP, you can.
<body onload="documen t.nameofform.na meofinput.focus ();">

This is a client-side coding question which is off-topic for this newsgroup
(ASP is server-side technology). In the future please direct your
client-side questions to a newsgroup with DHTML in its name, or to one of
the microsoft.pyobl ic.scripting newsgroups.
To answer your question, set the id property of the input and then put the
following line of code in the window_onload event:
inputid.focus

You might want to think twice about wanting to do this. If someone is on a
slow connection, and the page has partially loaded, they might start
filling out the form, get two fields completed, then suddenly, they are
back to field 1, but they are still typing info for field 3.

Good point. My web banking login page does that, and not only does it set
focus, it also executes a form.reset(); which irritates me beyond belief.
I'm on a fast connection, but their servers are ungodly slow. They have 7
NT servers for 630 banks. Unacceptable.

It is possible to escape that one.
Put the form in a layer that is set to not visible.
After the page has loaded set the layer to visible again.

I get this a lot in a web application I've written for my company. Just
about EVERY page is some sort of data entry page, and (of course) everyone
wants the focus placed when the page loads.
I get around this by putting all of my javascript at the END of the page,
rather than in the <head> section, with the last line of script being the
..focus() line. That way, the page and all of its elements have completely
loaded before any client-side instructions are executed. This has the added
benefit of cutting way way back on "object required" and "not found" errors.
Some of the pages are huge, and involve mind-numbingly lengthy client-side
validation scripts. When I inherited the application, those scripts were
scattered all over the page. What I do now is declare a server-side array
at the top of the page, adding the client-side function code to it as the
page builds (each element gets a function or discrete instruction), then as
a last step write the SCRIPT tag, loop the array writing all the javascript,
then close the script.

Good morning,
I have a form containing a text-area,
I'd like to know if it exists a function that, when I activate an event,
returns the position of the cursor in the text-area.
For example, I write ten words in the text-area,
then I move the cursor at the beginning of the second word
and activate the event (for example, click on a button):
is there a way to know that the cursor is at the beginning of the second
word?

Hello,
I want to try to retrieve the cursor position x and y relative to the form
the cursor is over.
The way I am doing it now is:
1. Retrieve the left and top position of the form relative to the desktop
2. Retrieve the desktop cursor position.
3. Take the difference of the forms left and top position. Adjust the
desktop cursor position based on this.

Hi,
For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor
has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0".
Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next
line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to
start searching on line 201, and not on line 1.
Anybody has any ideas?

I found some code that looks like it's going to work if I can make

The code displays a div with some data when I mouse over an element (A

Everything works great, except I can't seem to position the div where I
want given scrolling.

Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement,
