[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13251?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Lukáš Fryč edited comment on RF-13251 at 11/28/13 5:18 AM: ----------------------------------------------------------- Hey Immo, you shouldn't try to put focus on input itself, but rather use the component. Focus component itself will determine what to focus inside the target component. Here is the alghoritm: 1. determine {{focusCandidates}} (that's what FocusManager, focus preserve or others do) 2. look for {{:tabbable}} elements under candidates 3. select first {{:tabbable}} candidate element If we have similar DOM: {code} <div id="autocomplete"> <input id="autocompleteInput" /> </div> {code} you have focus candidate {{autocomplete}} (known on server as a client ID) (step 1), and you build list of actual candidate elements as {{[ 'autocompleteInput' ]}} (step 2), and use the first of them: {{autocompleteInput}} (step 3). See the implementation here: https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/framework/src/main/res... ---- In other words, use 'autocomplete' as a focus ID. You can access RichFaces client-side log to see what's happening. was (Author: lfryc): Hey Immo, you shouldn't try to put focus on input itself, but rather use the component.
