reselecting field after incorrect entry.
« on: July 26, 2007, 05:53:36 PM »
Hi Guys,

I have found a method to change the comment after a user makes an incorrect entry but the cursor moves from the field with the bad information in it to the next field.  How can I reselect the same field.

I don't want to validate the entire record just the field that I am currently on.

Any ideas?

Hi Greg,

Not so easy to do unfortunately.
This would require code executing asynchronously after the comment has been sent to the server. At the moment it can only send data, not code.

Also, depending on speed, they _might_ already have typed some letters in the new field so changing focus asynchronously might be a bit disturbing to the user.

Cheers
Bruce
