I can't make this work! I have two frames, a table of
contents frame on the left and a frame with lots of
form elements in it on the right.
<frameset rows="100%,*" cols="140,*">
<frame name="toc" src="toc.html">
<frame name="eadInput" src="form.html" >
</frameset>
I want to click on a table of contents link on the right,
then go to the <textarea> in the frame on the left **and
set the focus in that textarea** so the user can simply
begin typing.
<a href="form.html #abstract"
onClick="javasc ript:
parent.eadInput .document.eadFo rm.ABSTRACT.foc us();
parent.eadInput .focus()"
target="eadInpu t">
where "ABSTRACT" is the name of the <textarea> in the form
called "eadForm" in the right frame. In MSIE the focus is
switched to the right frame after clicking the link, but in
Firefox the focus stays on the left frame (which is why I
added that extra parent.eadInput .focus() to my event handler)
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? 4 11066

Try this for both browsers.
onClick="window .parent.frames['eadInput'].document.forms
['eadForm'].elements['ABSTRACT'].focus();"

Nope, doesn't work in either browser. Everything scrolls to
where it should but no focussing.
I'm thinking the problem is somehow a conflict between the
href and the onClick. I'm thinking I'll have to put everything
in onClick and add some kind of scrollTo or location or something,
i.e., do everything--even the frame targetting--in the javascript.
I haven't tried that yet. Too many things to look up in the
Javascript book.

Oh, of course. Silly me.
That *would* impact it.
Put a return false at the end of the onClick so the link is not followed
in browsers with script.
onClick="window .parent.frames['eadInput'].document.forms
['eadForm'].elements['ABSTRACT'].focus();return false;"

Wow. And OMG too. I would have bet lots of $$$ this wouldn't
work but you were nice enough to take the time to help me so
I thought I'd give it a try and what do you know? It works.
In both browsers.
It's not 100% perfect because it doesn't scroll to absolutely
the best place (so the anchor is at the top of the screen like
normal linking behavior) but I know why that is and I can live
with it. I might try playing around with some scrolling JS to
see if I can get just what I want, though.

Currently in my html document I use the onload command inthe body section to

Say I have two input elements and that I wanted to make it so that when
the first ones input was what it should be, the focus would
automatically be shifted to the next input element.

document.forms.elements.focus()" value="whatever"
maxvalue="x" type="text" />

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
