Using focus on outup HTML files
Sep 15^th, 2006, 3:52pm

I have noticed that output HTML from processing have no focus properties on the applet (so that keyboard input works without the need to click on the applet).

As I come from a markup language programming background I tried to use a trick I created (aka Ignat) to control focus on frames or iframes:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?p=587363#post587363

<body OnLoad="document.nameform.user.focus();">
<form name="nameform">
<input type=hidden name=user size=10>
</form>

This script sets focus on the page once it loads. Now setting focus on the Applet, that's the trick. I noticed the "name" tag inside the <applet> is not identified by the OnLoad function in the <body>. I been looking at forums and it seems this is widely debated, with no simple solutions apparent.

A panacea for this would enable work being presented over the web, or instalations supported by html environments, to function immediatly when loading (i.e. no mouse input to focus on the applet).

Please let us know if you find a good solution. We would like the applet to focus, but we're always careful about adding something that is not compatible with the majority of browsers and operating systems.
