I think this should work.  It should put focus on the first visible
input of the first form:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('form:first input:visible:first').focus();
});

This more terse example should do the exact same thing, ignoring the
form element and setting focus to the first visible input on the page:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('input:visible:first').focus();
});

Instead of doing:
 $('select:first').focus();

do:

 $('select:first').get(0).focus();
