Feature #13134
closed
Focus first text field automatically
0%
Description
The attached patch uses JS to focus the Name field in the versions/_form partial. Based on trunk r11352.
Also I grepped through 'test' for the string 'focus', to see if this kind of stuff is tested, and didn't find anything; hence, no tests.

Well I would agree that this would work. But another idea is to use the HTML5 autofocus function, which won't work on older browsers but would work even without js.
The tag could be included on systems with some older browser engine (for example IE7,8,9).
The tag is quite simple:
autofocus="autofocus"
Example:
<input type="text" id="search" autofocus="autofocus" />

JS seems to makes more sense to me, since:
- Redmine doesn't work without JS anyway -- this patch should work with all Redmine-capable browser setups
- The only IE to support HTML5 autofocus is IE10
- It's consistent; this JS is used in other places in Redmine (eg
issues/new)

Right, it will work. But I personally would use this just as fallback if there is no build-in property. But maybe just my own thinking. :-)

Yes, and all other major Browsers use this.

You're right. But on the other Hand, it would be quite good to be able to use Redmine without any JS, too. :-)

Another approach that would prevent autofocus attributes or js in each view would be add a few js lines in application.js to automatically focus the first input[type=text] that is found in the page content. What do you think?

Well, this would be also some approach which would prevent bigger codechanges.

Maybe autofocus on first input having a tabindex value > 0 set and fallback to the first text input if none found?
FWIW, I like the use of HTML5 autofocus attribute as Daniel suggested.

Hi, this modification break the anchors on links like this one :
https://core.spip.net/projects/spip/repository/entry/spip/ecrire/inc/utils.php#L404
Since the first input text get the focus, the anchor in the link doesn't "works".
If we comment http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/revisions/12670/diff/trunk/public/javascripts/application.js the anchor works well.
