I’m not sure if I get your problem right, but what you can do is extend the function with an extra parameter, namely the object who fires this function. It should be something like this:

function changeInputType(currentObject, oldObject, oType) {

…… here the same function

// Add this
if(currentObject == oldObject) {
newObject.focus();
}
else {
currentObject.focus();
}

}

If this is not exactly what you’re looking for or it doesn’t work, please contact me via the contact form.

Good luck!

I am using your function on the onFocus event of some input fields, but the newObject.focus() seems to set focus to the top of the page in IE7.

If the user was not already focussed on the oldObject this wouldn’t be an issue, but as it effectively takes focus away from the field when the “onFocus” its a bit messy.

thoughts ?
