Wt

Could you maybe provide some example code demonstrating the issue? I can't seem to reproduce it with the latest master.

Hi Roel,

Were you able to reproduce this bug using the code I provided? I'm having this problem now with a couple of dialogs...

Thanks!

Best regards

Hi Roel,

I got it fixed! When i set autofocus(false) and then use the normal "setFocus()" on the first element, the focus is set correctly. Is there any explanation why this is the case for the bootstrap theme?

Best regards

This is the case in general it seems. When autofocus is enabled, it will focus on the first child. However, when using a WTemplate, children() will return the widgets in it in order of their key. Because "confirmPassword" < "currentPassword", confirmPassword will be focused on instead. This wasn't the case in Wt 3, because in Wt 3 the widgets were returned in the order that they were bound. I'll see if something can be done about that, but with a WTemplate, it's not as simple to determine what is the real first widget.

Hi Roel, just as an idea: wouldn't it be interesting to make "setFocus" override the autofocus property? I didn't have any idea that autofocus was enabled by default, which made it difficult to find the problem...

Yes, I did notice that it's not documented that it's enabled by default. It makes sense to me that setFocus should disable it, but I'm not sure that it will be straightforward to implement.

Okay, thanks for the explanation Roel!
