I'm working on an html page in my 8206 environment. I have an html page where a value comes into the page using !IBI.AMP. to fill in the value. There are times that this value is missing so I have a default value of '' if the value is missing (I have also tried actually making it MISSING). When the value is missing or '', as I'm tabbing/clicking through the fields, it sets the cursor to the right of the edit/text boxes instead of all the way to the left. I know it's !IBI.AMP because if I don't have this value populating a field, the cursor goes to the left as expected. Does anyone know what property I need to set to put the cursor to the left? I'm an html GUI guy, so somehow to do this via GUI would be preferable. Thanks!

If this is still an issue then please open a case with techsupport.

Evan, What I would do is take a look at the HTML that is being generated with !IBI.AMP versus without. Then look into javascript/jquery to see if you can add/remove the difference.

I ran a quick test and this seems to work
you can set the caret position to whatever (0 is the beginning)

  
function onInitialUpdate(){

    setCaretPosition('edit1',3);

}

function setCaretPosition(elemId, caretPos) {

    var elem = document.getElementById(elemId);

    //var elem = document.getElementById(elemId);

   elem.setSelectionRange(caretPos, caretPos);

}

 

quote:

function onInitialUpdate(){

setCaretPosition('edit1',3);

}

function setCaretPosition(elemId, caretPos) {

var elem = document.getElementById(elemId);

//var elem = document.getElementById(elemId);

elem.setSelectionRange(caretPos, caretPos);

}

Thank you for the reply. I will give this a look.
