Calendar "focus"

[marx3]

When I place "focus=..." on calendar it works except when I want to move focus to another calendar object. Is it a bug or should I place calendar-id in some other way?

[tjakopec]

<h:form name="forma">
<r:calendar id="datumVazenja" />
</h:form>

over javascript
document.getElemetById('forma:datumVazenjaInputDate').focus;

[marx3]

on which event?

[marx3]

I see it as a bug. Can I open bug in JIRA?

you can't focus calendar component itself. use suggestion above. Focus the input of the calendar.

[marx3]

I've tried many diferent method, but no luck.
My calendar has

id="dummy"

I've tried to make

focus="dummyInputDate"

but it doesn't work.

[ilya_shaikovsky]

include naming container to the id of the calendar like "form:dummyInputDate"

[marx3]

it doesn't work. Here is my code:

<h:form id=form>
(...)
<rich:calendar id="dummy1" tabindex="2" value="#{managerBean.dummy1}" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd" enableManualInput="true" required="false" inputClass="f_input requiredInput" immediate="true" focus="form:dummy2InputDate">
 <f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" timeZone="CET"/>
 <a:support event="oninputchange" reRender="dummy1" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</rich:calendar>
<rich:calendar id="dummy2" tabindex="3" value="#{managerBean.dummy2}" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd" enableManualInput="true" required="false" inputClass="f_input">
 <f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" timeZone="CET"/>
 <a:support event="oninputchange" reRender="dummy2" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</rich:calendar>
(...)
</h:form>

Additionally, if I don't use converter nor ajax, "focus=" never works, and TAB from calendar always focuses on image opening calendar (which has no sense because there is no possibility to launch calendar form keyboard)

You shouldn't use focus attribute on the calendar.

To change focus after the request - you should use corresponding a:support attribute.

[marx3]

but "focus" works ok except moving focus to another calendar field! So what's "focus" for?
And how to change focus in a:support? in oncomplete event?

[marx3]

ok, i've used "focus" attribute in a:support (not in calendar) and it works

<a4j:support focus is not working for me.This is my code.

<h:form id="soForm">
<rich:calendar id="closedDateTo" datePattern="MM/dd/yyyy" inputSize="9" enableManualInput="true">
<a4j:support focus="soForm:addDateToInputDate"></a4j:support>
</rich:calendar>
<rich:calendar id="addDateTo" datePattern="MM/dd/yyyy" inputSize="9" enableManualInput="true"/>
</h:form>

Please help.

Thanks.

focus is set after the ajax request is done by particular event. As far, as you have no event attribute, this code will never be invoked.

[richfaceslearner]

I tried with 'onblur','oninputchange',events but no luck.I want to go to 'AddDateTo' field thru tab change.Please help.
