T4.1 focus=true for Forms, Change Request

[Manri Offermann <ta...@eastbeam.co.jp>]

Hi,

I think it is a great idea to have focus on a form element, when the 
page loads. But in some cases (or in our case), where the request is 
dynamic (AJAX request) and I am updating an area, my form gets focused, 
where I would rather not have focus on my form. At the moment I added:

<binding name="focus" 
value="!getPage().getRequestCycle().getResponseBuilder().isDynamic()"/>

I have updated all my forms, because in general, when I have an area 
updated with Ajax, I don't want the focus to be changed.

Can this be made default?

Best regards,

Manri Offermann

Oops...Shame on me. I was going to point out that this functionality
currently existed already using the EventListener annotation and just
needed to be carried over to the other async areas...but then I
noticed that I hadn't even documented this feature for
EventListener..oops

If someone creates a jira issue I'll make sure this extra parameter
goes everywhere.

This is a tricky prospect to actually set as a global behavior. I'm
not sure at all if this would fit the majority usage or minority
though. Adding the parameter to disable focus period (unless
validaiton error happens) is a no brainer, but I'd probably want to
hear more from everyone else about the global defaults change. (for
ajax requests)
