cursor default to the search bar

mnevill Apr 18, 2013 2:45 PM

Is there a way to make the cursor default to the search bar in the top right when any page loads? That would allow people to start typing to search instead of having to click on the search bar first. I am guessing this is something fairly common and easy to do so I hope someone here can help. If you know how please let me know with example code and where to stick it (FTL files or anything else relevant).

Thanks,
Matt

If you wanted to do something like this, you could use something like:

<script type="text/javascript">$j(function() { $j('#autosearch').focus(); });</script>

wrapping it with some conditional logic at the end of:
/template/decorator/default/footer-javascript.ftl

  Thanks Ryan. You're awesome. We will take that and run with it. I will update this post with instructions if/when we get it working.

    We didn't seem to have much luck with this. Are there any other FTL files that need to be altered?
