Well I'm afraid you just can't set focus on a hidden element. So you have to try to set the focus after it is visible. Maybe use of Tapestry.ZONE_UPDATED_EVENT as lance firstly suggested might work.
$('formZone').observe(Tapestry.ZONE_UPDATED_EVENT, function(event) { // set the focus }); -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Change-textfield-focus-on-zone-update-tp5716599p5716721.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
