The Elgg Community

This plugin sets the focus to the username textbox of the login screen. With the default Elgg behavior, one must click on username before typing their username. So I created this plugin to save the user a click ;-) Please report bugs and I'm open to new ideas!

Username Focus in action.

What does username focus do? Can you give a brief description of your plugin? That would probably be very useful to others also.

Thanks,

I'm sorry...the brief description included what it does but I forgot to put it in the full description. Basically, it will give the keyboard focus to the username field on the login screen.

@Kiwi

order does not matter for this one ;-)

@Greg

this a *good one, despite being so simple ;-) we get so used to bypassing the user unfriendliness on forms that we forget how easily it can be fixed by a only 1 line of code ( yes i read your code )

here's a thought - there are other places thru-out where the same lack-of-focus exists ;-( if you want to try to start making a list of these ( without thought for coding right now ) -- we can have a think over on how to best approach the focus fixing...

if you're comfortable with grep ( or wildreplace ) - the best way to scan the source would be to look for <form fields and selected= and then studying the output from that.
