Hello all,
I've been working (and almost finished) a patch to fix the issue:Missing
default input focus and Enter key handling
<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4383>
I have a question regarding point 1) Popups.
As far as I've seen in the custom lightbox that xwiki has, no global
event is fired when a lightbox "window" has finished loading, other than
only a onComplete function parameter which, is useful, but for this
specific issue, when talking about opening a popup, I see no reason why
to not have the first input element in that box selected by default. The
way I tackled the whole point 2) is by automatically selecting the first
input for the #admin-page-content object, solving all panels focus at
once. I wanted to implement the same functions for the popups, but can't
do that without a global event. Therefore I wanted to ask your
input/suggestions for this approach
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I envisioned this as a behavioral classname [1] similar to withTip or
maximizable, which indicates which field should be focused.
Even better, it would be nice to use the HTML5 "autofocus" attribute [2]
with a JS snippet to make it work in the browsers that don't support
autofocus.
The problem is that most fields are generated automatically using
$doc.display or $obj.get, which makes it hard to add classnames or
custom attributes. One workaround is to do a string replace after that,
for example:
$doc.display('name', $obj).replace(' size=',
'autofocus="autofocus" size=')

The old lightbox is deprecated and should be replaced as soon as
possible (developer time is blocking this). I'd rather not spend time
into it.
If, however, you want to fix this as well, feel free to change the
lightbox code to fire an event after the content is loaded. While you're
at it, you could also add events for open and close.
One tip: it's better to do small commits than big changes solving lots
of problems. So, try to make smaller patches for specific issues.

This use case is so common.

Yes it is, but I'd rather not add new APIs yet.
What I proposed is a temporary solution. Ideally, I'd like to replace
API calls with macros, where we could add optional parameters for
specifying CSS class names, extra attributes, display types, etc. Or the
classname and attributes could be written as (% parameters %) for the
macro call.
But right now, the fastest solution is to use the string replace.
