placement of cursor for where to begin entering in the form

Hi Priya Chohan​,

The following JavaScript code can be used to set the focus on a people picker field with a field name "User". The Javascript code must be added to the form settings > Custom Javascript.

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {

    NWF$(document).ready(function(){  

        NWF$("div[data-controlname='User'] textarea").focus();

    });

});

Cheers,

Rick

Hi Rick,

I want to add the focus to a date/time field, i have looked at the below link from Manfred lauer and saw the script for date/time but it didnt work the focus was still on the 1st field on the form.

The field in question is a sharepoint column does that make any difference.

Here is a screen shot of the form, the cursor appears where its says 16/17 but I want it to appear at Created: field which is a date field.

Thanks for your help in advance

Priya

Manfred

Please try following script to set cursor to control in line 1 of repeating section:

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function ()
{
 NWF$(NWF$('.datetimeFocus input.nf-date-picker')[1]).focus()
});
