Default focus on dropdown option in ModalDialog

, ,
1

Hi All,

Could you please advise how can I set default focus on a dropdown which is present in a modal dialog which opens on load of a portlet.

Tried below options but focus is always going to the text area (Multi line input) box which is present next to the dropdown.

Set Form control → Properties → Display → TabIndex to empty and
a) set tab index as 1 for dropdown element and index values 2,3 so on for other controls – didn’t work
b) set focus explicitly on the dropodown on load of the page with below code in a script block – didn’t work

CAF.model("#{activePageBean.clientIds['htmlSelectOneMenu1']}").setFocused(true);
c) bind Form control --> Properties --> Display --> TabIndex with the dropdown control accessor - didn't work

PS: If the dropdown and text area components are in portlet (directly under Form control) rather than in Modal Dialog box, then I am able to set default focus on dropdown using the above mentioned options.

Please find the attached sample package which depicts this scenario. Could you please advise how can I set default focus on dropdown element?

Environment:
MWS server: 7.1.3
Designer 7.1.3

Set “Default Focus” property of the modal dialog to “htmlSelectOneMenu1”
Hope this property available in 7.1.3
