The HTML DOM input radio autofocus property is associated with the HTML element’s autofocus attribute. This property is used for setting or returning whether the input radio button automatically be focused when the page loads or not.

On clicking the CHECK FOCUS button −

In the above example −

CHECK FOCUS

The FocusVal() method gets the input element with type radio using the getElementById() method and gets it autofocus property. The autofocus property returns true and false depending on the radio button autofocus attribute value. This value is assigned to variable R and displayed in the paragraph with id “Sample” using its innerHTML property.

function FocusVal() {
   var R = document.getElementById("rad1").autofocus;
   document.getElementById("Sample").innerHTML = "The radio button has autofocus property set to "+R;
}
