I am using select()/focus() to position the cursor at a particular field
on a form. This works, but when the user presses the Tab key in IE the
cursor jumps to the address bar rather than the next field (Firefox is
fine). Does anyone know why this might be happening and how to stop it?
Below is the code that I use to set the cursor position (it is somewhat
convoluted because it is generated via a series of macros). The cursor
is positioned correctly, but when I hit Tab the cursor does not follow
the expected flow through the page (i.e. it doesn't go to the next field).
// The page contains:
<script language="JavaS cript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var focusId = 'fnameId';
SafeAddOnload(s etFocus);
//-->
</script>
<input id="fnameId" type="text" size="50" name="fname" value="" />
// From a .js file loaded by the page:
// SafeAddOnload (used above) just delays execution until the
// page has loaded.
// getRef (used below) simply retrieves the DOM object using the id.
//
function setFocus()
{
obj = getRef(focusId) ;
if (obj != null)
try
{
obj.select();
}
catch (e)
{
obj.focus();
}
}
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Set a tabindex= on your inputs or just 1 input or so, to the tabpress
gets trapped and passed to the tabindex pool, plain html:
<input tabindex="1"> <input tabindex="2">
when the user presses the tab, it'll use 1 and 2 indexed elements for
jumping, leaving out the address box.

Thanks for the suggestion Danny. I had tried using tabindex and it
still misbehaved.
I have just spent a couple more hours on this and have isoated it down
to the setFocus() implementation - specifically to the exception
handling. The following replacement code makes it work:
function setFocus()
{
var obj = getRef(focusId) ;
if (obj != null) {
obj.focus();
if (obj.select)
obj.select();
}
}
Looks like the exception handling in IE is a little screwed up.

Hey folks --
I have a series of selectboxes on a web form. I would like to have a
javascript jump the focus to the next selectbox when the user presses a key.
Each box has the values 1 through 6-9, depending. So normally someone who is
used to it can just hit 1 <tab> 3<tab> 5<tab>1<tab>9<tab> -- I'd like to
take the tabbing out.
So what's really nice is if the box doesn't jump when the user doesn't
select a proper value.
