jsf : setfocus to inputText on pageload

Question

I want to set focus on inputText field in JSF on page load. How can I implement this?

Answer 1

You can use JavaScript for this. Every input element has a focus() function.

If you want to focus the 1st input element of the 1st form during window load, then do:

window.onload = function() {
    document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
}

If you want to focus a specific input element during window load, then do:

window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById('formId:inputId').focus();
}
