In RJS, how can I reset particular field (password) of form, but not login?

And also how can I bring cursor to input field when page is loaded? I currently have to click in the login field before typing.

Thanks.

If this is an AJAX call, you can use render :update such as

render :update do |page|   page << "$('password_field_id').value = '';"   page << "$('password_field_id').focus();" end

If going that route, I'd probably write a javascript function to do it and then just call the function

render :update do |page|   page << "reset_password();" end

or even

page.call 'reset_password'

And also how can I bring cursor to input field when page is loaded? I currently have to click in the login field before typing.

Depending on how you've structured your layouts and views, you can assign something to the onload event handler of the body tag

<body onload="$('field_id').focus();">

Probably, though, you are using layouts and don't have very easy access to the body tag, so you can something like this at the bottom of your view

<script type="text/javascript"> $('field_id').focus(); </script>

or even render a partial to do it if you might need it on multiple pages. You could pass the DOM id in as a local to make it DRY.

I'm sure there are other ways to accomplish your goals, but these can at least be jumping off points.
