CFWheels is only a hammer

I must admit that I was using CFWheels as a hammer and trying to treat a problem like a nail when I wrote about creating a CFWheels partial for setting form focus.
My posting this is a seriously delayed reaction. But I must admit that I was using CFWheels as a hammer and trying to treat a problem like a nail when I wrote about creating a CFWheels partial for setting form focus.
Stephen came up with a much nicer jQuery-only solution for setting form focus:
| $(document).ready(function(){ | |
| $(”.focus”).focus(); | |
| }); |
So now you can set form focus on load by setting that element’s class to focus. No need to create a CFWheels partial and set a variable in your CFML.
In my newbness, I wasn’t thinking that you could have that $(".focus") hanging there without it applying to something on every page. Now I am schooled.
Thanks Stephen!
