[CLOSED] JS Grid set focus to specific cell?

I have a JS Grid on my Maintain form.
It uses a javascript on the Onload function.
In addition, it has events that show separate forms.

When one of those events is triggered that shows a separate form and then I close that separate form,
can I set the focus back to the specific cell that I clicked - recognizing javascript is being run on the Onload function.

Example:
Stack on JS Grid is 40 columns wide by 50 rows.

I click on cell from Row 40 Column 38 which triggers and event shows a separate form.

When I close that separate form - after the Onload function runs, can i set the focus to
Row 40 Column 38?

What you will need to do is store the coordinates of the cell that you wish to return to in a variable on the form. Then use your JsGridOnload to read those coordinates and set the cursor to the cell.

You will use JavaScript to retrieve the values from those cells and then use:

Form.Grid.SetCellFocus(col, row) ;

to move the cursor to the cell.

I added this setcellfocus to the end of my javascript. I set a specific row and column.
(Row 4 column 6)
The javascript is executed on the OnLoad event.

I even set the focus onthe grid object.

But the cursor does not seem to be on my specified row/colunm( Row 4 Column 6).

What am I doing wrong?

First off, please try the code behind a button as a test to make sure the code is correct. Once it is working you have to put it with the JSGridOnload function, not the form onload function.

--When I add the setFocusCell to a button, it does indeed work properly.

--I have the same setcellfocus in the javascript file as part of the JSGridOnload function and an alert right after that.
Each time the form loads/refreshed, I do see my alert message but the focus is not on the specified cell.

--On the javascript file, I have added the setcellfocus to the beginning and/or to the end of the javascript file. Again, I do see the alert message each time but focus is not on specified cell.

You can try adding the code to the FOCUS event for the grid. However, I'm not sure if that will be respected when you tab on or click into the grid. If you can get me a small repro I will be happy to give it a try.
