I have a hot key that puts the focus to a certin text box by sending a javascript to the address bar. the problem is that when the focus is on a button the hot key won't work. i tried putting an if statment in the javascripe to check to see if the focus is on a button and if so change it till its not, but that didn't work either.
any help in this would be great.

this is the code that i tried to use, though it does get an error saying that there is nothing that has focus

javascript: function changeFocus(){var i=0, j=0, F=document.forms.element;if(F.type() == "button"){while(F.type() == "button"){i++;j++;F=document.forms[i].element[j];}}else{document.forms[46].element[0].focus();}}changeFocus();

Hi there,

Not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve, but your JavaScript is flawed.

all you need is:

that does work, except when a button has the focus last. the IE that i am using is probable a bit different then the one i am using because it is for a company. for some reason the.focus() works as long as a button does not have the focus. what i was trying to do, was check to see if a button has the focus and the have it continue though the elements untill something has the focus other then the button and then run the document.forms[].element[].focus()

for some reason the button refuseds to give up the focus. but i can still set text and send commands, so a ControlSetText, edit1, <text>; followed but a ControlSend, edit1, {ENTER}; works.
