you don't put the name of the file in there. you use the NAME attribute of
the FORM tag.
ex.
<FORM NAME="fred" ...>
<INPUT NAME="UserId" ...>
</FORM>
...
</BODY>
<Script>
document.fred.UserId.focus()
</script>
</HTML>
btw, JS is case sensitive.

Subject: Re: Manipulating Cursor Position In Applications
Hello Jann,
It appears that you've answered a question I didn't even know how to ask
yet. But I can't quite get it to work. Would you please look at the code
below and tell me what is wrong with it? "CVS3WP02.cfm" is the web page and
"UserId" is the loggon Id field which I would like to receive focus upon the
page loading. TIA.
Regards,
Paige
</BODY>
<Script>
document."CVS3WP02.cfm.UserId".focus()
</script>
</HTML>
