Problem setting focus on page load

[Ricky]

Hi

I have page which opens a PDF file as well have few text boxes and drop down combos for data Entry. PDF file is opening in a Frame.

Now on the page load i need to set the focus on first Combo box and which works fine if the frame does not have any PDF file to open.

So when there is a PDf file and it opens it then it lose Focus. I reckon because the PDF file takes time to load. Still the cursor goes to the combo box but then disappear.


Can any one please help me regarding this.

Thanks in Advance
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

Is it possible that the pdf viewer steals the focus from the combobox?

Also, you can try setting the focus on the combobox using the setTimeout method:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function pageLoad()
  {
    var comboBox = $find("<%=RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");
    var input = comboBox.get_inputDomElement();
    var timeoutMilliseconds = 100;
    setTimeout(function () {input.focus();}, timeoutMilliseconds);
  }
</script>

You can play with the timeoutMilliseconds variable.

I hope this helps.
