Cursor in Text field
I create a text field required user to type in. Everytime the
user needs to click the mouse in text box before typing.
Could it be automatically that the cursor is in the text box
without pointing the mouse in text box when the movie loaded ? or
just hitting tab button ?
Thank you.
Hello.
You can put this in the pages body tag attributes in the page attributes page (Home>Application Builder>Application 11933>Page Definition>Edit Page)
onload="html_GetElement('ITEM_NAME').focus()"
replacing ITEM_NAME with the proper items name.

No Cursor In Text Field - any browser
I'm fairly new to actionscripting and this forum. I'm not
sure if this is the right place to post, but it has to do with
posting data from a form.
I have come across an odd and very frustrating phenomenon
with a simple flash form. The text fields do not show the blinking
cursor or the text being entered, but when submitted, the email
shows all text entered.
The form is an external movie being loaded into a mc -- I'm
sure this is the problem, but it should be possible no?
Here's the thing -- I have tested the form on it's own and it
works fine. I have also tested it being loaded into a loader
component and it works fine. (see both examples here:
http://www.heymisterdj.com/contact.htm
But in the main movie, swf, the text fields just won't show
text.
(see here - click on Contact -
http://www.heymisterdj.com/newframe.htm
Any ideas?
I don't know if it will help but I have included the AS for
the contact button here.

How to set cursor to text field from message box in swing
I am working Text Field validations in a swing application. when incorrect information is entred in text field a Message is displayed. When I click on OK button on message box I want to set the cursor position to that particular text field for which thet message is displayed.
theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();may need to be wrapped in a Swingutilities.invokeLater,
and if you want the text highlighted (so you can just type in new text)
theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();

Placing cursor in text field using AS3
I am a newbie to actionscript 3.0 and need a litlle help that I have not been able to find searching (for two weeks).
I would like the cursor to appear and blink in the first text field in a movie clip that gathers information to be sent to a php. The following does not work.
stage.focus = textField;
textField.setSelection(textField.text.length,textF ield.text.length);
And the only other things I find are for custom cursors. I just want the visitor to see the blinking cursor in the firstName_txt input box when the page appearss.
Also, if the visitor tabs from one input text field to the other, the blinking cursor appears in the first three input text fields but not in the fourth. Yet, the visitor can enter text in the fourth input text field.I have tested by clicking crtl+enter and uploaded the files to my isp for testing. Neither effort is successful.
BTW, thanks for helping and I am sorry about the cross posting. My bad. I didn't realize there was a section for actionscript at the time. -
Position cursor in text field when form is opened
Another newbee question I'm afraid!
I want to position the cursor in a text field when a user opens the form. I can't find a way to do it but I'm pretty sure it's straightforward!
Also, can I remove fields from the tab order?
Thanks (for your help and patience!)Hi,
You would select the object that you want to receive focus and put the following in the docReady event.
xfa.host.setFocus("this");
The docReady event is a good one to use, because it only fires once.
The tab order can be set in the Tab Order tab. Depending on the version of LC Designer that you have, the flexibility will vary. However I would do this as a last step, as any changes can throw the tab order out of sequence.
Note that tab order is greatly affected by the relevant x/y coordinates of objects and where objects are in separate subforms.
Hope this helps,

Change cursor over text fields
Does anyone know how to change the mouse cursor, to a karat cursor, when the mouse is "hovering" over a JTextField or JTextArea?
OK heres where I get lost...
If you run this program then move the mouse over the JTextField the JFrame will change the cursor to a TEXT_CURSOR but the JDialog will not.
Can anyone make this happen for a JDialog??
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class JDialogMouseTest extends JPanel{
JTextField textField;
public JDialogMouseTest(){
textField = new JTextField();
textField.addMouseListener(new MouseListener(){
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
mouseEnteredEvent(e);
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
add(textField);
private void mouseEnteredEvent(MouseEvent e){
textField.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR));
public static void main(String[] args){
JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
JDialogMouseTest mouseTest = new JDialogMouseTest();
dialog.setContentPane(mouseTest);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);
JDialogMouseTest mouseTest1 = new JDialogMouseTest();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setContentPane(mouseTest1);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

How to put cursor in a text field
hi,
I have a text field in my jsf page.By default I want to put the cursor into this text field.when a letter is entered into this text field,the data table below this text field must change depending upon the value entered into the text field.After this change also,the cursor must be in the same text field.
how it is possible.
when I entered any letter in this field,there is a call to the server.the cursor must be in that textfield after the call.Use DOM+JS.
With element.focus() you can set the focus on the desired element.
With the 'onkeypress' attribute you can execute some piece of Javascript on every key press, for example submitting the form or doing an AJAX request. -
How to move the cursor to a text field
Hello,
I have a log in window with Username (Text field) and password (Secure Text field). The 'Log In' button is not enabled if I use the Set command. So I wish to use the Keystroke.
But I need to make sure that Cursor is in the text field and then to keystroke. So how can I move the cursor to the required text filed?
Note:
+Why the cursor is not blinking in the text field where I just 'SET' (command)+
+the value?+Well, for a start you can identify the application you're working in. That's kind of important.
In most cases you can just emulate a press of the tab key but it's kind of a crude a approach (there's no guarantee that you're in the field you expect). Certain applications, though, may have better ways of achieving it, but since we don't know what application you're using we can't say if that's the case here. -
I love FIrefox browser and prefer to use it on all my devices, PC, Smart Tv, Phone, Tablet etc. In recent times Iv'e had problems though, everytime I try to comment on a facebook post with each key stroke the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the text field and by the time I finish typing I look up and find jibberish, yesterday I upgraded this RKM Mk902 Android device that I am typing on now unfortunately using Chrome from Anroid 4.2.2 to android 4.4.2 Kit-Kat and thought I would no longer have that problem but the issue is still there. I also have discovered I'm having similar problems with FireFox on my Cube U39GT tablet. As I spend more time on Facebook than any other website I have to find a solution. I thought it may of been one of the addons that i use causing the problems such as Phony but I still get the issue without the addons and after a clean install. Please help me sort out this problem so I can once more use FireFox on my Android devices.
I found this, it seems that there are a few issues in Android as well with the wrong placement for the cursor when you type: [https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/465] but since it is only happening in facebook, this is odd.
What this means is that they are working on fixing specific issues like this and I am not sure when this will be fixed.
Does this happen with both keyboards that are offered in the Android Settings? -

Putting cursor in input text field
I'm trying to put the cursor in an input text field as soon
as I get to a certain frame. I'm using Selection.setFocus() but it
does not seem to work. It returns true but I still can't see my
cursor and I can't type to the field until I click in it or tab to
it. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm neglecting to do?mmmm just did that, I don't get the carret, but I can type
just to be pedantic you did pass the TextField instance ie
Selection.setFocus(myTextField )? -
Pressing Enter Button Gives a Blank Page while Cursor is in Text Field
Hi,
I have a problem on my jsp page that there is a text filed (input type="text") and a button (input type="button") to submit the page.
When page loads the cursor blinks in the text field, and at the same moment if i hit the enter button of my keyboard it gives a blank page.
Here the button on page does not clicked by this enter button, no script calls neither the page submitted to the given url.
Kindly suggest what is going wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Rajiv K.I'd come across this issue a while back: [http://tipsandtricks.nogoodatcoding.com/2007/07/html-single-text-field-submit-caveat.html]; when there is only a single text field in a form, then pressing enter causes a submit with the text-field as the initiator. The submit button isn't invoked. This means any onsubmit actions will not be called. A simple way out is to put in a dummy text field in the form and set it's display to none (using CSS/styling)

Positioning cursor in editable text-field
It is almost impossible to position the cursor in a text-field. Even though I have very thin finger it takes me more than two tries to position the cursor. Would be nice if on a future PlayBook-update the behaviour of text-selection and cursor-positioning would be improved. Works much better on Android-devices (okey, they often have a scrollball) and iPhone.

I know this has to be posted somewhere but have been able to find a solution for my problem.
My form is finished and everything works great, however when I open it in adobe reader to test it, my cursor does not show in the first box which I would like it to do by default. When I click in the first text field, my cursor goes up to the caption which I have set at the top of the text field.
I can tab and it will start in the first field, but most people do not know this fact. Is there a script I could use to make the cursor show in the first text field by default? Please give me an example as I am script illiterate.
I am using LiveCycle 8
