I would appreciate any help.
I have an html launch page with a panel that has
4 combo boxes, a search button and reset button. I have set the tab order to be 1-4 being the combo boxes(first is LastNameCB) and the search button being 6 and reset button is 7. I have tried putting LastNameCB.focus() in the window_onload function and also checked out both links below and tried those examples as well. No matter what I do, the search button is the focus on load. Help please!

Add your code after the UpdateData() function. This works for me.

Juicy bits (Bolding is a sanity check in my test):
<SCRIPT id=clientEventHandlersJS type=text/javascript>
//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {

UpdateData();
 
document.getElementById('combobox1').focus();

document.getElementById('combobox1').style.fontWeight="900";

// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
}
//End function window_onload
</SCRIPT>

Thank you for the code. It was helpful to look through. However, for some reason I still can not get the combobox to have focus, it did the font weight line but not the focus. I have autocomplete code as well, at first I thought maybe that was causing a problem. Then I put the .focus() code into another launch page that didn't have the autocomplete code and it still does not give focus to the combobox. I don't get it.

SOLVED----

I guess it helps to read the help files......this worked like a charm for my focus issue.

FROM HELP FILES:

If you want JavaScript to run after a page loads completely, but before any reports are executed, you need to create a function called onInitialUpdate() and put your code in that function. Your code should be added inline in the HTM file after the line:
//End function window_onload
