SetFocus

Question

How to set focus in inputText in table?
I have need solution for through servercode not javascript

Answer 1

First of all setFocus is the client side behaviour and there is no such property "focus" on RichInpuText component
there is a clientListener "focus" but its useless , because you need to have a focus to start with.
so, you have to use javascript, you can call your javascript from the jspx or you can call it from your backing bean [server-side]
if you want do setFocus from your backing bean ,
                StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
                RichInputText myInputText = getInputText();
                String inputTextClientId =  myInputText.getClientId();
                ExtendedRenderKitService service =
                    (ExtendedRenderKitService)Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
                                                                          ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
                script.append("var inputText= document.getElementById('" + inputTextClientId+ "');");
                script.append("inputText.focus();");
                service.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
                                  script.toString());you can have onload clientListener on document and you can focus your inputText at that time
<af:document binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_KeyDown.document1}"
                 id="document1">
                 <af:clientListener method="onLoad" type="load"/>
<af:form binding="#{backingBeanScope.focusBean.form1}" id="form1">
        <af:inputText label="Label 1" clientComponent="true"
                      binding="#{backingBeanScope.focusBean.inputText1}"
                      id="inputText1"/>javascript
function onLoad(event) {
                document.getElementById("inputText1::content").focus();
                }regards,
