Right, you need to do it as a function in an onLoad event because if you don't it will immediately look for that formfield before it exists. Onload waits until the page is fully loaded before executing the function.
BJ = = = Original message = = = Try setting it through a function. That is how I do onload events. <script language="Javascript"> function focusme() ~document.PracticeDetail.PName.focus(); </script> <BODY onload='focusme()' bgcolor="white"> -----Original Message----- From: Larry Juncker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Set focus on a CFINPUT field Can someone point me to how to properly set focus on a CFINPUT field? I have tried document.FORMNAME.FIELDNAME.focus(); and it just does not acknowledge the code. document.FORMNAME.FIELDNAME.VALUE will give me the preset value that I set for the field.
