Adding focus to first form field without using body onload..

[AshleyQuick]

Is this possible?

[Choopernickel]

Of course. Use window.onload .

window.onload = document.forms[0].elements[0].focus;

So I place that in my js file. What must I add here? (which is the 1st field)

<input type="text" maxlength="65">

Nevermind, got it working with:

function setFocus() {
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus;
}
window.onload=setFocus;

[Garadon]

<form name=test1>
<input type=text name="test">
</form><script>
document.forms['test1'].elements['test'].focus();</script>

Shorter version:

window.onload=function(){document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();}
