Remarks
The setActive method does not cause the document to scroll to the active object in the current page or in another frame or window.
Examples
This example demonstrates how to use the setActive method between frames.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/setActive.htm
... <script type="text/javascript"> function fnBottomActive(){ //Set the object with ID=btnLarger active in frame with ID=oFrame1. window.parent.oFrame1.secondButton.setActive(); } </script> ...
This example demonstrates how to use the setActive method between windows. By clicking the SetActive button in the left window, the method sets the Second Button as the active object in the right window, although the object does not receive focus. The object receives focus when its page receives focus. To confirm that the object is active, click the right window's title bar. The button appears to be selected.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/setActive_2.htm
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function fnOpen() { //Open new window. oWin1 = window.open("/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/setactive_content.htm", "oWin1", "top=10px,left=480px,height=375px,width=200px,resizable=1"); //Set focus back to the parent window. this.focus(); } function fnBottomActive() { //Set the object with ID=btnLarger active in the other window. window.parent.oWin1.secondButton.setActive(); } </script> </head> <body onload="fnOpen();"> <center> <table border="1"> <tr><td> <button id="btn1" onclick="fnBottomActive();">Set Active</button></td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
