Java Development Tools

Hello,

I have a situation where I need to set the focus on an input text on a particular action.

I searched the net and I found examples on how to set the focus using server side javascript, here is my code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int index = ( the index of the added record. );
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append("var textInput = ");
script.append("AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId");
script.append ("('pt1:t2:"+index+":it2');");
script.append("alert(textInput);");
script.append("if(textInput != null){");
script.append("textInput.focus();");
script.append("}");

ADFUtils.writeJavaScriptToClient(script.toString());
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the input text is located in a table, the first column of my editable table, the thing is; when the user adds a new record in the table I want to set the focus on the added record's first column's input text.
My Table id is "t2" and the input text's id is "it2" and "pt1" is the page template id.

the problem is that alert on the 4th line is return "null".

Anybody can give me the reason why? or give me another solution on how to do this.

Thanks,
Shahe
