how indicate initial focus

Hello,

RichFaces newbie here. I have been trying to figure out how I can specify that a text field on a RichFaces/JSf page is to get the initial focus. I have not been able to find any documentation on this.

Thanks

Hey,

we use a non-RichFaces solution using onload attribute of <body> tag.

<body onload="go('main:idToFocus')">

function go(id) {
document.getElementById(id).focus();
}

If you are using Facelets and only have a general <body> Tag in your page template, use a onload Function in template like

<body onload="onloadFunction();">

and override this function in your page

function onloadFunction() {
document.getElementById('main:idToFocus').focus();
}

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Michael
