trying to work with onfocus

[David]

Here is the layout of my form from left to right, from top to down.

- buttonA, buttonB, buttonC
- textbox, textbox, textbox
- buttonXXX

After the user types in the textboxes and press enter (with the cursor still
in one of the textboxes), buttonXXX should be pressed by default.(the user
is too lazy to take the cursor over to buttonXXX and click).

The problem is the top/left most button (button A) gets pressed which annoys
them to death. So I tried to do this.

In the bottonA's onfocus event handle-
document.forms[0].elements['buttonXXX'].focus() .

Result: ButtonXXX receives focus alright, but the code for buttonA still
executes! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check if buttonA is a standard button (<input type="button" ...>)
and if butonXXX is a default/submit button (<input type="submit"
....>).
The code to be executed on clicking "buttonXXX" should be in a
function, suck as buttonXXX_click. See if the "action" attribute for
the "form" element is "buttonXXX_click()" (<form
action="buttonXXX_click()" ...>).

Hope this help,
Nuno Silva (aka NJSG)
