calling a javascript function on focus og input box in cakephp

[kuldeepkaundal]

Hi,

I just wanted to know is there a way to achieve something like the in cakephp:

<input name="sugbox" onfocus="ClearForm();" type="text" id="sugbox" class="searchbox11" value="type name here" />

I am trying following:

<?php echo $form->input('Sugname.sugname', array( 'type' => 'text' , 'label' => '' , 'id' => 'sugname' ,'class' => 'searchbox11' ,'value' => 'type name here', 'onfocus'=> "ClearForm();" )); ?>

everything goes fine, but, m unable to call that function.

Plz suggest a solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
kul.

As far as I know, you can't call a javascript function with php.
You could write a javascript that triggers on pageload or when the dom is ready.
I know prototype has a way to do this. You can observe if the page is loaded and then use "fire" to start an event. Php could echo this piece of javascript in your page.
