858015 - Autofocus search box on load

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, enhancement)

Description

[Aryeh Gregor (:ayg) (no longer with Mozilla)]

When you first load dxr.mozilla.org, the page consists of just a search box.  It would be nice if this were focused, so you could immediately start typing without having to click the box.  This could be done by changing

          <input type="text" name="q" value="" maxlength="2048" id="query" accesskey="s"
          title="Search">

to

          <input type="text" name="q" value="" maxlength="2048" id="query" accesskey="s"
          title="Search" autofocus>

(adding the one word "autofocus").

This still doesn't seem to be fixed on the live site -- is it supposed to take this long, or did the fix not work?

We've been blocked on deployment for 4 months. I'm going to see if I can do something about that today.
