Question

I have a an HTML form which contains the YAHOO rich text editor on it.

When I display the form I want the YAHOO editor to have focus so that the cursor is ready to accept input without the user having to click on it or tab into it

Answer 1

I got this from the documenation over at the YUI library. Specifically at a sample titled Editor – Basic Buttons

var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('editor', {focusAtStart:true});
myEditor.render();

The key here is the the ‘focusAtStart’ attribute as part of the optional attributes object
