Hi here I'm using onFocus event on a textbox which will call the following function:

function clearDateField(fieldName)
{
if (document.getElementById(fieldName).value == "mm/dd/yyyy")
{
document.getElementById(fieldName).value = "";
}
document.getElementById(fieldName).focus();
return true;
}

The problem is it is making foucs on the textbox after I press TAB key but it is not showing the cursor. Only if I type something then only the cursor is coming....

How to make the cursor visible after pressing the Tab key from the previous field?

Regards,
Debashree

Are you using onblur or onchange on the field to call that function?
