Set focus on field

G

Hello Allan,

Using DataTables Editor plugin.
If there a way to set focus on a specific field?

I have four field:
1. Field1 (optional)
2. Field2 (Required) <- I want the focus to come here by default. when editor opens
3. Field3 (Required)

Yes - you can use the focus option of the form-options object, which you can define using formOptions.main or when you call edit() if you are calling it directly.

Hi! Is there a way to choose the focus but in when opening the editor through the "Add" button?

It works for me when something is calling edit(), but not when calling create

Thanks!

Allan,

editor.field(FIELDNAME).focus();
works fine.
But, we how do I change it based on editor action.

So, If its "ADD" / "CREATE" new record
Need focus on different field

While "EDIT" record, need focus on different field.

You can use the focus option of the form-options parameter. Or alternatively listen for the open option which will tell you what action is being performed and you can then execute the focus() method.
