Trying to get two javascript statements to work together...

[lucas]

<script language="javascript">
<!--
self.location.href='#add';
document.addform.txtTitle.focus();
//-->
</script>

the self.location.href='#add' goes to a html anchor on the page, and the focus is supposed to set the cursor inside the first textbox when the statement is run.

if i run it as is, it will go to the anchor like its supposed to, but won't put the cursor in the textbox. if i comment out the first statement, it will put the focus on the textbox.

any idea whats going on here?

After setting the location.href, did you try setting the focus to some other page element, and then try setting the text field?

Hey,

How about this:

<script language="javascript">
self.location.hash='add';
setTimeout("document.addform.txtTitle.focus()",500);
</script>
