Question

I have writen an ajax page that will change a particular div content. In that the ajax code will create a textbox.
Now I would like to focus on that textbox after calling that function. on clicking a button the function will get called as

function addnewitem5() 
{

if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("aa433").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;

    }
  }


  xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax-production.php?type=sales",true);
xmlhttp.send();

}

on the ajax-production.php
the code is just

<?php echo '<input type="text" name="barcode" id="barcode"/>';?>

How can I focus on that textbox?

Answer 1

if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){

    document.getElementById("aa433").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    document.getElementById("textboxname").focus(); 
}

by this you can set focus on text box..
