Hi,
I have two DIVs, one in the left and the other right.
More info:
*
left DIV (id of 'leftD') is empty by default, right DIV (id of 'rightD') has lots of contents.
*
when a user scrolls down for the right DIV, and find one piece of content interesting something, say, content 8 (id of 'content8'), click on it (clickAction) and brings it to the top of the left DIV ('leftD'). No problem, so far so good.
Issue:
However, the cursor does not go with the above action, that is, the screen remains the same (still at the bottom of the right DIV). What could I do to make the cursor to move to the top of the left DIV?
My attempt of adding the following statement,
document.getElementById('leftD').focus();
prior to clickAction
OR
after
has no effects.
How to do it?
Many thanks.

You described:
document.getElementById('leftD').focus();
function clickAction(){code}
OR
function clickAction(){code}
document.getElementById('leftD').focus();
will not get the focus statement executed.
You need:
onclick="clickAction();document.getElementById('leftD').focus();"
OR
function clickAction(){code ;
document.getElementById('leftD').focus(); }
