Dave - Try this:
<script language="JavaScript"> window.onload = function() { document.myform.yardage_ticket_no.focus() }; </script> I can't swear to this for "built-in" functions like focus(), but if I were calling a custom function, I would need to leave the parentheses off of your original statement. window.onload = mycustomfunction(); // would not work window.onload = mycustomfunction; // would work Maybe focus() operates the same way?
