HI ,

I have a JavaScript that modifies the subject on load of the email by adding opportunity number to it . But it sets the focus in Subject field . I want to have the focus set to description field but Description is inside a IFrame. We need a Supported java script to set the focus on the field inside IFrame. We don't want to use JQuery as it is not recommended for form .

thanks

Have you tried with

Xrm.Page.getControl("description").setFocus();

The code is fine.

Please move the Xrm.Page.getControl("description").setFocus() in such a way that it executes as last statement of the form load script.

Hello,

As your control is over iframe (assuming have html web resource ??) standard set focus won't work there, you can use JQuery to interact with your web resource, it is not recommended to use on entity form, but you could write code in your page which is in iframe to set focus when pages is loaded.

Thanks

Kunals,

So your description field is a textbox element inside the iframe which is the iframe is external app?

There is no supported way from CRM SDK because this will access external app, if yes.

Can check this as workaround

I got time to check this out myself and you are correct setting focus to description did not work. As description field is a rich textbox and there is no supported way to set focus to this control. Only way to set focus to this control is using unsupported javascript.
