    deselect combolistbox item??

    Hi,
    I use a listbox with links as menu that opens a new link immediately after selecting an item. It works fine when it opens a new page. However, when going to a bookmark on the existing page, it will indeed jump to the bookmark, but the focus will remain on the listbox and subsequent scrolling results in scrolling in the listbox and opening of other links of items where it scrolls to. I know I can easily remove the focus from the listbox by clicking outside it, but is there a way to automatically loose focus after selection?
    Thanks for you help.

    Create a new object using Option() method

    myopt = new Option();
    myopt.selectedIndex = 0;

    now whenever you want to bring the selectedIndex back to initial state


    object.selectedIndex = myopt;

      ex:

      PHP Code:
      <html>
      <      head>
      <      script>
      function       bla(a){
      myopt = new Option();
      myopt.selectedIndex = 0;
      alert ('now i reset the options to the initial state');
      a.selectedIndex = myopt;
      }
      </      script>
      </      head>

      <      body>
      <      select onchange="bla(this)">
      <      option>choose</option>
      <      option>1</option>
      <      option>2</option>
      <      option>3</option>
      </      select>
      </      body>
      </      html>

        and, if you want to "defocus" the combo, interlace

        document.body.focus();
        a.selectedIndex = myopt;

          Hi KOR,
          Thanks a lot,
          The document.body.focus() is all I wanted.
