tapestry 4 to focus on specified field
How could I set up form and field to make tapestry form focus on specified
field. In the form, it is only one parameter called "focus" which is
boolean. It should have parameter that takes a list of fields name or id for
focus order. Does t4 have that?
Thanks a lot.

You can also just call "tapestry.form.focusField('yourFieldId')"
directly via javascript at the bottom of your page. (if you felt like
being dirty about it...)

Just add a tabindex informal parameter to the related form fields...
You have to manage focus ordering yourself.

The problem is that it's difficult to know what field you want to first take
focus if you are trying to do it automatically. For instance, if you have a
page with a header on top with a login form (name / password / submit), but
the "content" area of the page is a search form. What gets the focus? The
username field or the first search criteria?
The way I handle this is to simply assign an ID to the field, then at the
bottom of the HTML, just before the close BODY tag, add a javascript call to
specify which form field I want focused --
document.getElementById("formFieldId").focus()
As for the tab order, just add the "tabindex=x" property to the form field
(where 'x' == the numerical order), as already suggested.

I know these. But I just think that may be useful and helpful to add focus
fields order list to form.

Tapestry will add JavaScript to focus on the first field that has an
error. If no fields are in error, then the first required field. If no
required fields, then the first field, period.
The focus parameter is used when you have multiple forms on one page,
and want to control which one gets to take focus.
