I''m trying to get started with AJAX and having a problem..
I''m trying to set the focus to the first (and only} field on a search
form and having no luck.
From searching with google, I came up with:
javascript_tag("Event.observe(window, ''load'', function()
{
var firstForm =
$A(document.getElementsByTagName(''search''))[0];
Form.focusFirstElement(firstForm);} );")
no response, though. Please help
Bob
