I'd recommend using the getElementById over the formname.fieldname.focus().
And JS is parsed as it's read, for the most part, so simply putting <script>document.getElementById('fieldIDGoesHere').focus()</script> AFTER the field should work. The bottom might be safer, and window.onload is swell if you have a "multi" window.onload function, as lots of JS stuff uses it, so a single "window.onload = someFunction()" kills other stuff, whereas "window.onload = window.onload & someFunction" [not real code] will play nicer with others. Just more fyi type stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237651 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
