Onload and Tabbing focus problem

I was asked by some of my users to set focus to the username
field on the login page when it loads. I began by adding to the
body tag and cfform tags OnLoad function. This allowed the page to
load and set up the user to just start typing without clicking in
the field. The problem is with trying to tab to the next field. The
only way I can even start tabbing to other fields is to click in
one and then depress the tab key. However, this only tabs over to
the other two fields while leaving out one of the fields.
I would like the page to load so that the user can start
typing and then by pressing tab he can move on to the next field. I
don't know why this code doesn't work. It is kind of frustrating.
Does anybody know of a fix to this problem?
Thank you for your time!

Use a tabindex attribute in your form fields:

TitleWindow PopUp Tab/Focus problem

Hi
I am wondering if anyone can help me. There is a titleWindow popup created. A login form is loaded into it. With 2 text input fields: Username and Password and one Button, OK.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get tabbing to work inside the new titleWindow. When I click on the user input field and then press tab, the cursor disappears. I have searched the net and there are numerous instances of this happening, but no actual solution that I can see.
The Login Component is of type VBox.
The weird thing is, if I enter the wrong details or no details and click ok. Then The tabbing wors the second time around. It is just when it is initially loaded. I have no idea why this could be?
Can anyone help as it is driving nuts.
Thanks

Here is the MXML for the title windoew to be popped up
private function popupLogOnDlg(evt:Event=null):void
                                        stwLogOn = new StwLogOn();
                                        stwLogOn.addEventListener("clickOK", handleCloseLogOnDlg);
                                        titleWindow= TitleWindow.show(stwLogOn, "Log On", 0, true, null, handleCloseLogOnDlg);

10.10.3 caps lock and tab key problems

Since I upgraded to 10.10.3 I've had no tab key or caps lock. No one else has written about this. Am I the only one having these problems?
I guess I will take the keyboard home to try with a different Mac.

Hi venustas,
It sounds like you updated your computer and now 2 keys do not appear to be working. You should use this section of the following article to troubleshoot that:
OS X Yosemite: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click Text to Speech. If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.
To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

3.x WAD TAB Focus problem

I am desiging a web template(in 3.x) which comprises of other web templates using TABs. I have used the standard javascript for the TABs but the issue is when I run it first time the TABs don't work, all the 3 web templates show. but when I click on one tab then they show up under each TAB. Not sure where I am wrong?
I wasn't able to paste the code. I will try again.

Thanks KK, for some reason can't paste the code here. do u know why?
Basically I have 3 reports to diaplay on one screen. Each report has either a table or chart and its corresponding navigation web item. I thought best way would be to create a Main web template with TABs and then embed 3 web templates which will have the 3 reports. In the main web temp I have the javascript code, the first web template is visible others are hidden, I guess after the inital run the javascript should manage the reports when I click on the TABs. Any ideas if I am doing something wrong?

Window and tab safari problems

I updated Adobe flash player and it automatically updated safari as well without even asking me. Now when I highlight and click on a link there is no longer an "open link in new tab" option. I have gone into the safari preferences and tried to fix it under the tabs section but when I do that links only open in new tabs and not windows when you select the "open link in new window" option. Is there any way to fix this?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Safari. Many of us use Firefox or Chrome. There's a Safari Support Community where everybody uses Safari. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari

Problem with new firefox tabs and window focus

Here's a problem that I've had for ages - sometimes it annoys me, other times I can live with it. Right now it's really p***ing me off. :x
I have selected 'a new tab in the most recent window' under FF's Preferences->Tabs->Open links from other applications in:, so as an example, if I click on a URL in a mail in Thunderbird, Firefox opens it in a new tab. However, window focus stays on Thunderbird. I run both of them full screen, so although I'm looking at the web page in Firefox, anything I do on the keyboards affects Thunderbird. It affects URLs opened from other apps too e.g. if I open a terminal and do
firefox www.archlinux.org
focus stays on the terminal window. The only exception is when firefox is not already running - in that case, firefox launches with focus.
DE is xfce4, and the system is completely up to date.
I've done some googling, and AFAICS, nobody else seems to have this problem. Any ideas, anyone?
TIA.

Thanks MAC!EK - definitely a useful add-on, but it still doesn't solve my problem. In Tab Mix Plus Options, I have the following selected:
Links -> Open links from other applications in: New tab
Events-> Tab Focus -> Focus/Select tabs that open from: <all>
However, the behaviour is as before i.e. I click a URL in Thunderbird, it opens in a new tab in Firefox, but window focus stays on Thunderbird. Within Firefox, the newly-opened tab is selected or focussed, but Firefox itself is not.
Anyway, thanks again. I think I need to keep looking.

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

Problem with tabbed focusing

I have a question that I'm guessing has a ridiculously simple answer for you gurus, but I still can't figure this out:
For some reason, I've had a couple of instances where the OS will go into a "tab focusing" mode, where hitting the tab will switch to each item and put a blue highlight around it, whether it's in a dialog box or the bookmarks bar in Safari. The highlight doesn't always function as something I can activate with the enter key or arrows, though (as in the Shut Down dialog box). The first instance of this (I believe) went away on its own, after performing an OS update. In either case, I'm pretty sure I haven't accidentally turned on something in the system preferences.
Anyone have a quick and dirty explanation (or better yet, a fix!) for this?

Hi Chris
it may be that you un-wittingly hit Shift-F7 which toggles Tabbing between "text boxes & lists only" and "All controls"

Tabbed Pane Focus Problems

Focus traversal doesn't appear to be working on tabs added after the JFrame is initially displayed (at least on JDK 1.4.2):
1) Run the program. Focus is on the last field on the 3rd tab. Use the tab key to cycle through all components. It successfully tabs to the button, the tab, and each text field. This is working ok.
2) Create a new tab.
a) Focus should be on the last text field, but no component appears to have focus. (why???)
b) Type some character. They are added to the last text field. So focus was placed on the last text field, but the caret was not painted (why???)
c) Use the tab key to cycle through the components. When tabbing through the text fields the caret is not painted to indicate focus, except for the last text field (why???)
d) Click on a text field and use the tab key to cycle through all compnents. This time the caret will be painted for the last text field and the text field you just clicked on. (why???)
Any suggestions on how to fix this wierd behaviour? Here's my test code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TabbedPaneFocusTest
     static int columns = 0;
     public static void main(String args[])
          final JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          newTab(tabbedPane);
          newTab(tabbedPane);
          JComponent component = newTab(tabbedPane);
          JButton button = new JButton("Add Tab");
          button.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    newTab(tabbedPane);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
          frame.getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          frame.setSize(400, 200);
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
          // Select tab 3 and set focus on the last text field.
          tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(2);
          component.requestFocusInWindow();
     private static JComponent newTab(JTabbedPane tabbedPane)
          columns++;
          JComponent component = null;
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          for (int i = 0; i < columns; i++)
               component = new JTextField("TextField" + columns + i);
               panel.add( component );
          tabbedPane.add( panel, "" + columns );
          tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex( tabbedPane.getTabCount() - 1 );
          component.requestFocusInWindow();
          return component;
}

I tested the last code in Java 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0-b64) on a Linux platform, and it does not seem to work. To determine who has the focus, I added a slithy modified DefaultKeyboardManager that printed out the focus owner, when I run the modified code, it seems that the focus is placed on the last textfield when the panes are created before displaying the frame, this works ok however when I created a pane using the button, the focus is on the button and not on the text field. Apparantly pressing the button does a requestFocusInWindow() on the button after the actionPerformed is executed, overruling the requestFocusInWindow() (just my humble opinion). The modified test code follows below:
Marc
package testfocus;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main
     static int columns = 0;
     public static void main(String args[])
          FocusManager.setCurrentKeyboardFocusManager(new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager()
                         public void processKeyEvent(Component c,KeyEvent e)
                              System.out.println("Focus owner: "+c);
                              super.processKeyEvent(c,e);
          final JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          newTab(tabbedPane);
          newTab(tabbedPane);
          JComponent component = newTab(tabbedPane);
          JButton button = new JButton("Add Tab");
          button.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    newTab(tabbedPane);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
          frame.getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          frame.setSize(400, 200);
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
          // Select tab 3 and set focus on the last text field.
          tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(2);
          component.requestFocusInWindow();
     private static JComponent newTab(JTabbedPane tabbedPane)
          columns++;
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          tabbedPane.add( panel, "" + columns );
          tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex( tabbedPane.getTabCount() - 1 );
          for (int i = 0; i < columns; i++)
               panel.add( new JTextField("TextField" + columns + i, 5) );
          JTextField component = (JTextField)panel.getComponent(columns - 1);
          component.requestFocusInWindow();
          return component;

ClearType is on and size of text is medium 125% problem menu bar bookmark bar and tab text is not clere at all

system is windows 7 ClearType is on and also in display settings medium is chosen for 125% text size all the bars and tab text is very not clear at all

Little bit of progress:
When I allow whatever IE7 blocks, the menu works but 75% of
the background images don't show up until I hover over them. The
tabbed menu seems to work fine then though.
Edit: Sorted the images no showing, but the "Stopped ActiveX
running" etc error menu still pops up...can I stop that happening
or is it something that is set on each individual's computer?
Also the white box background around the round buttons show
up, as if it was jpeg not a GIF, is that solvable?

508 accessibility and keyboard focus

I'm using Captivate 4 and can't seem to get the keyboard accessibility to work properly. I want to be able to control the tab order and keyboard focus on each slide. For example, if the user keeps pressing tab they will eventually move from the .swf file and begin reading the address and menu bar in the browser window. Does anyone know how to ensure that the keyboard focus is provided only to active elements?

Hi,
I noticed your post while searching for the same answer with respect to Captivate 5. So far, it is the closest I've seen to the problem I'm trying to resolve. I see that you had no luck here, but was wondering if you found a solution elsewhere. All help would be appreciated.

How do I prevent tab focus from changing when I scroll tabs with the mouse wheel? [SOLVED]

Whenever I scroll my tabs with the mouse scroll wheel the tab focus changes from the page I'm currently on to the tab being scrolled to. I usually have a large list of tabs open and I depend on being able to scroll tabs without changing page focus to keep myself organized.
Also, I'd like to disable tab scroll wrapping; Once I've scrolled my tabs to the end I'd like it to stop scrolling, not wrap around to the start of my tabs.
Is there a way to disable these features and revert to the tab scrolling behaviour of a previous version of Firefox?

This is not a standard feature and can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

}else
OASubTabLayoutBeanVar.setSelectedIndex(pageContext,
"Tab2");

This is a bug in ADF Framework. Filed a bug with ADF Framework and they have accepted this as a bug.
I'll update this post once I get the resolution from ADF team.
