Wheels is only a hammer

My posting this is a seriously delayed reaction. But I must admit that I was using Wheels as a hammer and trying to treat a problem like a nail when I wrote about creating a Wheels partial for setting form focus.

Stephen came up with a much nicer jQuery-only solution for setting form focus:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(”.focus”).focus();
});

So now you can set form focus on load by setting that element’s class to focus. No need to create a Wheels partial and set a variable in your CFML.

In my newbness, I wasn’t thinking that you could have that $(".focus") hanging there without it applying to something on every page. Now I am schooled.

Thanks Stephen!
