Manually Set Focus

[Matthew Shakespeare]

Is there a way to manually set focus on a MVC DropDownLIst in Javascirpt , similar to standard 

$( "#target" ).focus();

Hi Matthew,    

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support,   

 Yes, we can set focus to DropDownList by setting focus() method to the wrapper element of Dropdown.    

 <code>   

<div class="control" style="float: left;">   

            <span class="txt">Select Group</span>   

           @Html.EJ().DropDownList("groupsList").Datasource((IEnumerable<groups>)ViewBag.datasource)   

        </div>   

</code>   

  

To set Focus on creation:   

 <code>   

<script>   

   

    $("#groupsList").ejDropDownList({   

        create:function(){ $("#groupsList_wrapper").focus();},   

        });   

       

</script>   

</code>   

 Please refer the below link for DropDownList client side API’s:

 We have also set focus to DropDownList in our online demos sample using shortcut key.   

 Please refer the below given link:

 Please let us know if you have any concern.
