Moving focus on submission of form

Hi everyone.

I have a quick question - if I have a form which refers to a javascript when
its submitted using:

<form name = "fred" onsubmit = "test()">

and this function creates a popup window to display information in, I find
that after the window has appeared, the focus moves back to the form and the
text box used to gather user input clears. The clearing text box isnt a
problem, but the moving focus is. Is there a way to make it so that the
window containing the popup information stays on top? This problem doesnt
ocurr when I use the submit button to call the javascript function.

Regards

Hi. I have a function to submit the form when my user types any character on a textbox. I call the function on the keyup event of the textbox. The function submits the form and set the focus on the textbox, after the submit. The form submits ok, but after the submit the focus won't return to the textbox. Can anyone help me to solve that problem? That's the function: <Script language='Javascript'>

Okay, how do I write a page with a form so that when I click Submit, the following happens? 1. The data is submitted (of course) 2. The form is cleared (what I've tried results in the form being cleared first, resulting in an empty submission), and 3. The cursor goes back to the start of the form, ready for more input (kind of like how Google puts the cursor in the search box at the start).

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

When I validate a form on submission I use the javascript focus function to scroll the page to the location of the form error e.g. document...focus(); If you happened to have the page scrolled above where the error field is then the page will scroll so that the error field is at the very top of the window. If you happened to have the page scrolled below where the error field is then the page will scroll so that the error field is at...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
