Not Setting Focus To Text Field In Firefox

I faced a very interesting issue. I'm trying to set the focus on a input field using Javascript (no jQuery, I tried that also but not worked) using window.onLoad. Just take a look

Solution 1:

Try adding a slight delay:

functiononloadFocus(){
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById('name').focus()
    }, 10);
}

Update jsFiddle

Solution 2:

You must wrap the function-call into a function, otherwise it will be called immediately, not onLoad(the input is still unknown at this time):

window.onload=function(){onloadFocus();}

Solution 3:

you should use window.onload=onloadFocus; instead of window.onload=onloadFocus(); because in case of window.onload=onloadFocus(); onloadFocus will run immediately and at that time input field may not be available.

Solution 4:

I got the solution for it. If you want to focus in Firefox. Write the focus function at the starting of the script tag.

<scripttype="text/javascript">document.getElementById('name').focus();
    // rest of the code here.</script>

Hope this will help you.
