I have a problem

[Tony]

The principle is this when I tab on field with id=fartygID I need to
validate this field against table AFARTYG and this is done asynchronously
and this can't be changed because of the
structure of the code.

If the data.opExist == "False" in function Validate I know that the entered
data is invalid and I want the cursor
to stay in the same field.
I have tried to use $("#fartygID").focus(); to position the cursor in the
fartygID field
but this does not work.

It would be easy if I could return the value of data.opExist but this seems
to be impossible because of that I use asynchronous call.

Is it anyone that have any suggestion how I can place the cursor on field
with id=fartygID
if the data.opExist == "False" ?

//Here is the function that validate. check_generic is called asynchronously
function Validate(ctrlID, ipTable, ipKey, ipKeyValue)
{
var ipDescriptionField = "";

check_generic(ipTable, ipKey, ipDescriptionField, ipKeyValue,
function (data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
IsOkMessageShort(data.dsError);

if (data.opExist == "False")
{
$("#fartygID").focus(); //Invalid value don't leave
fartygID
}
});
}


function TabOn_FartygInDialog(e)
{
var TABKEY = 9;
if (e.keyCode == TABKEY)
{
Validate("fartygID", "AFARTYG", "FARTNR", "",
$('#fartygID').val());

// this.value += " ";
// if (e.preventDefault)
// {
// e.preventDefault();
// }
// return false;
}
}

Try using setTimeout(function() { $("#fartygID").focus(); }, 10);

The 10 is a number of milliseconds to delay before doing the focus. Adjust
as required.

I solved it by first using blur
and then in the function called from blur use focus

How so? I am just detecting the beginning of a CallExpression with the
MemberExpression being the identifier $.
