Good morning all, I was wondering if VBScript could do the same thing as what the below JavaScript is doing, that is to focus on a form control after the user has made some mistakes in his/her inputs...
<script type="text/javascript">
function Verify_Inputs() {
if(document.Testing_Form.Testing_TextBox.value == "") {
alert("Please enter a value.")
document.Testing_Form.Testing_TextBox.focus();
return false;
} // Ends the If-Clause.
document.Testing_Form.submit();
return true;
} // Ends the "Verify-Inputs" function.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Verify_Inputs() {
if(document.Testing_Form.Testing_TextBox.value == "") {
alert("Please enter a value.")
document.Testing_Form.Testing_TextBox.focus();
return false;
} // Ends the If-Clause.
document.Testing_Form.submit();
return true;
} // Ends the "Verify-Inputs" function.
</script>

VBScript has identical form focus syntax as JavaScript, so yes, you can set the focus using client side VBScript. Declare your code block as type="text/VBScript" though. Also, bear in mind that VBScript is only processed by Internet Explorer. No other browser uses VBScript for client side processing.

I'm sorry, but I think that you haven't shown me how to do that, or rather the directions in which how I can do that, could you direct me to the right place for it, thanks?
