Hi Friends!
I need your help in this point:
I made an app using the code provided on lessons¨runrev¨com/m/4069/l/22836-how-do-i-use-the-browser-control , 'drawing' a form made with HTML with some textboxes.
However, i need that when the app starts, it focuses in the first of these textboxes... (Obviously on the web, it works. But not in the app)
Which lines i need to put on the code of LiveCode, to achieve focusing in the textbox (on the group browser, which contains the HTML content)?
I would thank your help.
Greetings!

Hi rincon, a piece of advice would be to first consult the dictionary and then the forum, most of the times you easily first the answers there.
OR
Where fieldName is the name of your field.

forgot to mention you have to add this code at you openStack handler, so the result would be:
Code: Select all
on openStack
focus on field "myField"
end openStack
Put this code in your stack.

Hi zaxos,
the TS is not talking about Livecode fields, but a "field" inside of the HTML/webpage in a browser!
Best

Exactly, as Klaus says...
The focus must be on the webpage (exactly on the textbox), the focus isn't in a text control from LiveCode.
It's not enough with putting on the HTML code:
window.document.form1.name.focus();
when in the app this line doesn't have the same effect as on the web.

As for rincons problem, well i dont think livecode has a function to do that, but my guess is that you could use a simple js code to achive it:
Code: Select all
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("myField").focus();
};
</script>
Where myField is your input's name.
My guess is that js wont work with revBrowserOpen as i had problems in the past, so use revBrowserOpenCef instead.
EDIT: Just tested it on windows and works as expected...
