document.getElementById().focus() returning undefined

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 26974 / 13 Years ago, fri, february 3, 2012, 12:00:00

I have the following HTML:

<input type=text id=endDateEditBox value= style=margin-left:5px; height:18px; width:70px; vertical-align:middle; onchange=validateDate('endDateEditBox', $(dateFormatErrorString).value)>

And I am trying to make this focus using the following Javascript:

document.getElementById(endDateEditBox).focus();

Which chrome console and Firebug both return as undefined. I feel like I am missing something very obvious here, can anyone help?

The focus() method does not return a value. It sets the focus on the matched input, and then returns undefined...
