[Scriptaculous] Focus inputfield in lightbox

Hi,

I wanted to set the focus to an inputfield in a dialog (call:ed WAComponent) so that the user can just start typing.

This works fine with #setFocus when I use #call: but doesnt when using #lightbox:.

The problem is that #setFocus and #lightbox: are using scripts. Unfortunately the #lightbox: script is added AFTER the #setFocus script and the second undoes the effect of the first.

In the attachment is a patch (override :-( ) which prepends the #lightbox script before already existing ones. That solves the problem for me, but I have no idea how other script using components would interact with this...

This is quite hacky. Is there another cleaner way to set the focus in a lightbox?

cheers,

Christian

I think it makes sense to add the script to the beginning of the list.
This is fixed in Seaside 2.9. Thanks for reporting.
