Description

this should be added to http://myfaces.apache.org/sandbox/focus.html

My code to generate the fields looks like
<t:dataList
var="propSubItem"
value="#

{propItem.subItems}

"
layout="simple"
rowCountVar="x"
rowIndexVar="y">

<h:inputText value="#

{propSubItem.name}

" size="5" style="width:65px"></h:inputText>

</t:dataList>

As opposed to otherwise, I omit the inputText tag's id field. I noticed that just hardcoding the
"formName:_idJsp9:0:_idJsp13:0:_idJsp14"
appears to work in quick-and-dirty tests, but there must be a better way to focus on the first of the generated input fields and I didn't find anything in the mailing lists.
