how to set focus in textbox after responsePage in wicket 7?

Question

I want to set focus to specific component after I go back to my FirstPage..

PageParameters pageParameters = new PageParameters();
setResponsePage(new SecondPage(pageParameters) {
            @Override
            public void doSelect(Integer ID) {                
                setResponsePage(FirstPage.this);
                // set focus to spesific component here

            }

            @Override
            public void doCancel() {
                setResponsePage(FirstPage.this);
            }
        });

Please help me..

You're not allowed to hold a reference from one page to another, please use a PageReference instead. — svenmeier, May 30 '17 at 05:57

IMO I could choose HTML5 for this . In HTML there's an autofocus attribute to all form fields.

You can decide while page loading which component to be focus.In your case it is the default constructor . Have some criteria and focus on particular component if you are focus the component dynamically otherwise do like below . No Need of Javascript.

TextField textField = new TextField("name");
textField.add(new AttributeModifier("autofocus",""));

You have to add a little JavaScript to your page, search for FocusOnLoadBehavior:

i can't find AbstractBehavior class.. i think we can't using that way because It uses the old wicket version.. – Rendy May 31 '17 at 02:45
IIRC they changed it to `Behavior` (which is an `abstract` class). See here :https://ci.apache.org/projects/wicket/apidocs/1.5.x/org/apache/wicket/behavior/AbstractBehavior.html – Rob Audenaerde May 31 '17 at 16:11
