[AccessD] Dot Net 2.0 - Clicking into Text Boxes

Hi David:

The following is air code but some similar code should work... have a real
example but can not remember where it is at the moment:

<!-- 1. Add this function -->
SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!-- 
Function text_focus1() {
 document.forms[0].textbox1.focus()
} 
//--> 
</SCRIPT>
...

<!-- 2. Use DIV tag to encapsulate html text area tag -->
<div onClick="text_focus()">
 <textarea cols="25" rows=3 name="textbox1" wrap>
  Enter text here...
 </textarea>
</div>

This is not specifically done through .Net but this would be the direct
approach. This is by no means completed code but it should be a start. 

HTH
Jim

Subject: [AccessD] Dot Net 2.0 - Clicking into Text Boxes

I have a text box on my web page.  When using a mouse, users can only 
go into the box when they click on text already entered.  If they 
click in part of the box that doesn't have any text then the cursor 
doesn't move to the box.

Also, if they delete everything in the box then the only way they can 
get back to the box is to click on the associated label (which also 
works if some text is in the field)

This is confusing for the users.  Is it possible to make a change so 
that clicking anywhere in a text box will move the cursor into the box?
