Hi
I have been the following code by Freefind to use on my search page:
<form action="http://search.freefind .com/find.html" method="get"
accept-charset="utf-8" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="[unique id for my website]">
<input type="hidden" name="pageid" value="r">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="all">
<input type="hidden" name="n" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="_charset_ " value="">
<input type="hidden" name="bcd" value="÷">
<input type="text" name="query" size="15">
<input type="submit" value=" Find "></form>
It works great, but want to set the focus to the search textbox when
the page loads so that the user can start typing, using <body onload
="document.getE lementById('Scr ollableContent' ).focus()">, but I can't
see any id for the search textbox in the code I've been given.
How can I set the focus to the search textbox when the page loads?

Sorry typo in my previous post, I meant to write:
It works great, but I want to set the focus to the search textbox when
the page loads so that the user can start typing straight away, using
<body onload="documen t.getElementByI d('[id of textbox]').focus()">

Just add one:
<input type="text" name="query" id="ScrollableC ontent" size="15">
Though you should probably use a more meaningful ID.

I've worked out the answer - I just needed to change to form's code
from:
<input type="text" name="query" size="15">
to <input type="text" name="query" id="query" size="15">
.... and then use the id "query" in my onload statement.
Sorry about that.

Yes, that was a typo, sorry (see my earlier replies to my original
post, which I was typing while you were typing your reply).
Thanks, and apologies for posting before I'd put enough thought into
trying to solve it myself.

No problem. Sometimes it just works best to step back a bit to think
things over.
Cheers,

Hi,
I have an HTML page with a FORM and some input fields.
On the fields I wish to do validation as the punters change the field
values.
If they get it wrong, then I tell them and then wish to put
the focus back to the offending field.
( It works if a use an 'onblur' event but not an 'onchange' )

I've seen where login pages (and other form-based pages) place the cursor in
the first field of a form after the page loads.
I'm familiar with the tabIndex, but that only works once you hit the tab
key.
What function automatically places the cursor in any give form field??

What is supposed to happen:
A user enters data into one of the FORM input selections. When the user submits the form, the onclick
event is supposed to go to a function that will set another FORM value (SearchSel) to some number that
will be used on the next page. The javascript function 'setSelx' doesn't work in FireFox but works with the
other browsers.
Can someone help to fix this code or point me in the right direction?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
