bLengthChange-Combobox and the focus

miriam

Hi there, im quite new to datatables.
And now there occured a problem, at least it's a problem for me =)
Now to the question.
Is there a way to focus the selected row rather than the combobox of the shown length for the datatable?
Every time a new length i.e. 50 is chosen, the combobox helds the focus, so if you press the arrow-keys up or down, you change
the length of the shown items, which shouldn't be. Usually the focus should stay on the selected row, but it doesn't.

I tried with [code]currentId.focus();[/code]
after the fnDraw-function, where currentId is the current row. But it didn't work.
I would be glad if some of you has a few solutions for me.

The select option list is working the way that an HTML form element will do - so I think the current behaviour is correct since it is what is expected. Activate the form control and it gains focus.

You could blur() focus on it if you want on its `change` event, but you'd need to know where to restore focus to if you wanted to do that.
