Getting the cursor to automatically be in the subject field

So that everytime my users click on reply or post a thread the cursor is already in the subject field, that way all they have to do is type the subject and/or hit tab to post a thread/reply.

I know this is possible and it should be fairly easy. Just something simple that I thought would help a lot of users.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like to see in the text box for new replies, in the subject box for new threads.

Hi,

just add this to your template:

PHP Code:


		
			
function focus(theform) {

document.vbform.XXX.focus();

}

before

PHP Code:


		
			
</script>

</head>

and replace XXX with the name of the field!

Then
replace

PHP Code:


		
			
<body>

with:

PHP Code:


		
			
<body onload="focus()">

:cool:

Compatable with all browsers?

How would you get the number of the subject and text box field?

it's not number, it's the form field name.. you can find it by checking the source code or relevant template. Eg:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1">

name in this field is "title"...(That is subject field of Newreply form)
