How to move to beginning of list after setting edit on all records

In an earlier post I found Javascript code to add to the Onload event that forces all rows into inline edit status.
pageObj.inlineEdit.editAllRecs();
Can someone suggest code that will move the cursor/focus back to the first record of the list?
I am prototyping an after school youth activities attendance list where the names and a checkbox for attendance is used. Subsequent code posts that to each youth's record.
thanks
Bob

You can try something like this in Javascript OnLoad event. "CustomerID" is here is the name of the first edit field.

$("input[id^=value_CustomerID]").first().focus();

didn't help. Yes I changed the name to the first edit field.

Placed this code right after the other code.

It worked in my test but maybe your configuration is different or maybe this code fires too soon. Inline Edit takes a bit of time to load, especially if you have more than a few records on the page.
You can try something like this. The problem is that if loading all records in edit mode takes more than 5 seconds it will not help.

setTimeout(function(){ $("input[id^=value_CustomerID]").first().focus(); }, 5000);


I just wanted to add that most likely in the next version of PHPRunner we'll add an option of Excel-like editing when you can load the list page with all records being editable immediately.

Unfortunately no joy. I wonder if it has to do that my field I used (replacing CustomerID) is a checkbox?

It must be a text field. You cannot focus on a checkbox.

Aha! thanks.

Could I use code to "move up" in the list in a loop and stop when it errors out?
If so would you provide code please?
Thanks
