    focusing on an image input

    I am trying to focus on an input type="image" when the page loads with something like...

    Code:
    <body onLoad="document.form1.imageTag.focus();">
    I've tried many variations to the script, but when I try to focus on an image input, it just doesn't work. I get an error that it's null or not an object. However, if I change it's type from image to text, it works fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

          I have the same Problem.

          When I dump my forms Elements with JavaScript I get:

          name: form[save] index: 10
          name: form[refresh] index: 9
          name: page index: 8
          name: form[screenName] index: 7
          name: form[websiteUrl] index: 6
          name: form[websiteName] index: 5
          name: form[movieName] index: 4
          name: form[bookAuthor] index: 3
          name: form[bookName] index: 2
          name: form[bandName] index: 1
          name: form[quote] index: 0

          But there are no <input type="image">'s in there, I have a bunch of them :/

            Sez right here that input type=image are not part of the collection.

            Give it an ID and access it via document.getElementById()

              I can't seem to be able to focus an element by its Id.


              that doesnt do it for some reason:
              Code:
              <html>
<body>

<form>
  <input name="realName" id="realName">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
  document.getElementById("realName").focus();
-->
</script>

</body>
</html>

                      Well. it didnt work again for some reason on the regular form I'm using (The one i posted was just to show)

                      What I had to do is:
                      Code:
                       document.getElementById("nameHere").focus();
 window.focus();   <------- THIS
                      I dont know why, but now it works
