Hi,

I am having a text box in a form in HTML, I tried to focus the text box

function a(){

document.formname.textboxId.focus() // this function works in IE but throws script error

document.formname.textboxId.onfocus() // text box is not selected and no script error.
}

try to assign id to your textfield and access it in javascript.
Javascript:
function a() {
document.getElementById('mytext').focus();

}

Form:

<input type="text" nane="mytext" id="mytext" />
