If I set focus in a form to a particular field when the page loads

it start reading from the field that is in focus and effectively "skip
over" all content before that in source order?
Anyone know?
ok, having quickly tested in a demo of Jaws, it appears that it does.
Jaws starts reading from the input form on page load.
This would seem a major accessibility problem to me then! Any arguments
that it's not?
