Move focus/cursor to FIRST errored field

I have a page with serveral inputText fields. Most fields are validated for a date, number, currency, or just a required string. How can I move/display the cursor in the FIRST field in error. It seems the cursor just disappears, I then have to use the mouse to click on the field that is in error to correct the error. Seems that JSF should take care of this.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
Please can any one help me i am new for java Script. It will be a great help.
will Appreciate any other approach.
Thank You,

How to programmatically move the cursor to the "To" field of a new AppointmentItem?

I need to move the cursor to the "To" field of all new AppointmentItems which are created through my Outlook Addin. How I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Prasad

Hello Prasad,
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for that. You need to use Windows API functions or use
Accessibility API to set the cursor programmatically.

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.

Cursor focus to error field.

In APEX 3.0, when I use Validations, Type Function Returning Error Text:
If :P1_ITEM is null then
return 'Must enter a value';
end if;
Everything is fine, except the cursor goes to the first field in the page. How do I make the cursor go to the field that contains the error (back to the field that did the validation)? Thanks in advance.

Hi Shirley
Sorry I did not see this post but I did reply to your question you post about inserting caps.
if you create another page item say P1_PAGE_FOCUS then as part of your validation you set its value.
If :P1_ITEM is null then
:P1_PAGE_FOCUS := 'P1_ITEM';
return 'Must enter a value';
end if;
add this bit of javascript to your header
function setFocus(FocusItem)
try {
    var oFocus = document.getElementById(FocusItem);
    document.getElementById(oFocus.value).focus();
catch(err) {
    null;
}You should also that your pages Cursor Focus is not set to first page item. Then add the following to your HTML Body attribute
onLoad ="setFocus('P1_PAGE_FOCUS');"
This should then set the page item that you want to set focus to the invalid page item.

JavaScript Error : Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible,

I have one JSP page in my project where i am putting all input to save personal details of a person.
This personal details header contains button(to collapse or expand).
I input all details and save. It works fine but when i collapse the header and name, age etc are not visible.
Only Save and cancel button is visible. so i click on save and following javascript error show up :
Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
In case of expand mode,If there is any error while providing input in text boxes , i have given pop up to display that like " Name field is mandatory " and control focus to that field again. it works fine.
In case of collapse, as fields are not visible and if i directly click on save button. Pop up is displayed as usual "Name field is mandatory" but it pop up again javascript error
"Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
Please let me know how to reolve this?

1) there is a JSP forum
2) that still doesn't make it a forum to ask javascript questions
Please let me know how to reolve this?Who says that you can resolve it? If it isn't allowed, don't try it. Likely you'll have to rethink the design of your page.

RH8 WebHelp "Can't Move Focus to the Control..." Error

While testing my help (primary layout is WebHelp) on my local
machine, the help books/topics freeze after a series of clicking
them open and closed. I'm not doing this rapidly or in a manner
unlike a regular user would. IE 6 gives me a page error. The
description reads "can't move focus to the control b/c it is
invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the
focus." The URL points to the whtdhtml.htm file.
I've searched the forum and when this problem came up before,
an answer was in a tech note. I read the TechNote rb_95432 on this
issue and it suggested editing the webhelp4.js file; however, I
don't think this file is generated by RoboHelp 8, as it doesn't
appear in my generated help files.
Is there a different file I should be looking at? Is this a
problem with my HTML that I should seek or an Adobe compilation
issue with IE 6? I recently upgraded my help project from RoboHelp
6 to RoboHelp 8 and am on a Windows XP machine.

RH8 for Word 2003. Runtime Error 5152: Cant move focus to control

Hi, I am trying to open a word file from the RoboHelp source files and am getting the following error:
Runtime Error '5152': Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
I am using Word 2003 and RoboHelp 8. I didnt not change anything in the code, its a RoboHelp provided code. RH was installed with my netword id and with admin rights. When I click debug, it highlights the following piece of code.
Private Function IsRoboHookLoaded() As Boolean
    IsRoboHookLoaded = False
    ' No addins, not loaded
    If (AddIns.Count = 0) Then
        GoTo IsRoboHookLoadedExit
    End If
    For i = 1 To AddIns.Count
        AddInName$ = LCase$(AddIns.Item(i).Name)
        If (AddInName$ = "robohook.wll") Then
            If (AddIns.Item(i).Installed = True) Then
                IsRoboHookLoaded = True
                Exit For
            End If
        End If
    Next
IsRoboHookLoadedExit:
End Function
Also, when I click end and try to close the Document, I get another error:
Runtime Error '5152': Method 'Name' of Object 'AddIN' failed.
It again highlights the same piece of code on debug.
Can you please suggest why this might be so?
Thanks in advance.

The formatting is lost if the robohelp.dot template is not present in the same folder as the word document I am trying to open (and edit). The template is still present under application data\templates. Below are your answers:
So if you have the robohelp.dot in the application data\templates folder and open the project and the doc, the fomatting is gone in the doc and it is is plain text, correct? - Yes
Are any styles attached to the text at all? - Yes
For instance if you highlight what was a heading 1, is it still heading 1? - Yes - It still shows as heading 1, but not as big and coloured as the headings in documents with robohelp.dot
if you create a new help project, do you run into the same problem? - Yes
I tried copying the styles from robohelp.dot to my document, but still it doesn't reflect the changes.
I want to be able to open the document (with the robohelp template and its styles attached to it) and edit it, without changing any styles/formatting.
I am not an expert on this but my feeling is it has something deeper to do with other than just the location of the template or the styles. There should be a reason for the runtime error 5152: "Can't move focus to control....".

Why does the "TAB" key no longer work to move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8?

The "TAB" key will not move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8. You have to use the mouse to click on the new field to move the cursor.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

Can I move cursor to first record without reopen it?

I want to use the same cursor in my stored procedure
for many times, but it is time expensive to open this
cursor. So can I move the cursor to the first record
when it come to the last without close and reopen this
cursor?

You could read your data at once into a collection and then process the collection afterwards as you like:
For an example see

Error "field required" in master-detail form with FORMS 10G!!

I have a Master-Detail Form.
When the cursor stay in detail block and i chage the master record with the mouse, clicking in scroll bar, i get error "field required".
In Forms 6i, works fine!!

Master block has more than one record displayed. When I click on any item in detail (except first one) and then click on different master record (return navigation to master block, but not current record) I have FRM-40202: Field must be entered on first item in detail block.
I found that reason is this part of clear_all_master_details procedure (automatically created by Oracle Forms):
IF :System.Cursor_Item <> startitm THEN
Go_Item(startitm);
Check_Package_Failure;
END IF;
Does any have same experience?
Is it Oracle bug or I am missing something?

Move the cursor to next input values

Hi
I have one input screen which will save the vaule in z_ table .
when i am giving input values and press enter it should go next input values
but it is going same field.
how i can move the cursor to next input values.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi,
Use the "set cursor" command followed by the field name.
By triggering PAI only, we can set the CURSOR in some other field.
By just pressing ENTER button and like that.
In PBO, you have to check the first field is filled i.e. NOT INITIAL, you have to set CURSOR in next field and so on...
If he fills any other fields, then you have to message.
Also try SET CURSOR in the PBO.

Hi,
Actually I would like to create 2 button, one is named as NEXT, another one is named as PREVIOUS. Once i click on the NEXT or PREVIOUS button, a query statement will be executed to retrieve the information of all of the student in a table. At the same time, the name, student code, address, ic and phone number of a student will be displayed by label respectively. After that, if I click on the NEXT button, the information of the current student will be replaced by the information of the next student. By the way, if I click on the PREVIOUS button, the information of the current student will be replaced by the information of the previous student.
