Element focus in a4j form

[atmohsin]

Hi

I want to focus element inside the a4j form when the page loads. I can do it normal way by having onload method on body tag and in javascript i can set the focus to the particular element. Is there any other method or tag we can achive this through richfaces

Thanks

using jquerry onload is the best option.

Is it possible to achive this by using a4j:jsFunction

[ilya_shaikovsky]

jsFunction is a component to be used for request firing on some call, So it' is not your case.

And about jquerry. It's included to RichFaces so you should use internal script in order to avoid conflicts.

And to avoid conflicts with prototype consider this http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/Commonclientside#jquerryusage
