HI Jim,

You can of course use JAWS?s quick navigation keys such as f or e to move to
fields.

 

If you want to do it programmatically I think some JavaScript will do it.
Google seems to use some to have focus go to their search edit field, and
that works for me 95% of the time I?d say.

Perhaps in the onLoad event something like 

getElementById(?field1?).setFocus();

 

(Untested syntax, a JS expert can set me correct on the above.)

Subject: [program-l] HTML: JFW Virtual Cursor...

 

Hi: 

?this only pertains to development, I'm working with a html / jsp page that
contains both header, left and right side bars as well as my content. Each
time I load the page I'm obviously placed at the top of the page and need to
scroll past all of the previously mentioned links and text in order to get
to my jsp edit field.

?is there a means via html / jsp code to force my focus to be on the first
edit field or is there something with in JFW that will affectively give me
the same results? Remember this is only for dev purposes.
