							submit.focus()

Description

The focus() method of the Submit object places focus on the Submit button. Be careful when using this method in conjunction with the Submit.blur() method. It can lead to a focus/blur loop, where the browser blurs a focus as soon as it is done, and vice versa.

Example

Listing 7.482 has a text box and a submit button. If the user clicks in the text box, focus is placed on the submit button.
