Description

« Hide

if there is an error, it does not make sense to put a form's focus on an input field that is perfectly valid if others are in "error".

Therefore, the form-tag's focus attribute should be made dependent on the other fields of the form being error-free.

Related is probably STR-1305

I believe the erring fields receives focus only with javascript validation. Can you confirm?

I don't use javascript validation, I only use the javascript that is generated by the focus attribute of http://struts.apache.org/1.3.9/struts-taglib/tagreference.html#form.

This is kind of hard-coded. The intent of this RFE is to make this aware of the err* attributes the html tags inside the form may have and if another than the hard-coded, i.e. default suggested focus field is in error move the focus to there and deviate from the hard-coded suggestion..
