Datepicker Pop Up Issue

Hi,

 

<select id="makeList" name="make" onfocus="this.select();">
<apex:repeat value="{!makeList}" var="lst">
<option value="{!lst}">{!lst}</option>
</apex:repeat>
</select>

 

<input type="text" id="promoDueDt1" name="promoduedt1" onfocus="DatePicker.pickDate(false,'promoDueDt1', false);" size="10"/>


I am using above code to display Datepicker on VF page. It display the datepicker. But at the time page load, datepicker pops up. I want to give setFocus to the select list and not to the datepicker at the time of pageload. The date picker should pop up only when user clicks on this field.

 

How can I give control to select list at the time of page load and stop popping up datepicker at the time of page load?

 

Thanks,
Devendra

For the pop-up problem, that's a pretty common Visualforce thing.  To get it to go away, put this code immediately before the </apex:page> tag (the last line of your VF page before the close tag)

 

<script>
      setFocusOnLoad() {}
</script>

I belive that when page is load the focus is set at u r date picker

try to use tabindex="3"  so when the page is loaded it set the focus on the other field which have tabindex = "1"

SRK,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

I have tried using tabindex, but it is not working. Still the page sets its focus on Datepicker and not on the select field :(

 

Thanks,

try this

<apex:page>

<head>

<script>

 var x = 0;

 

function showcal()

{

   if(x != 0)

   {

       DatePicker.pickDate(false,'promoDueDt1', false);

   }

}

</script>

</head>

<apex:form>

<input type="text" id="promoDueDt1" name="promoduedt1" onfocus="showcal()" size="10"/>
