Default Textbox Field

[tbohon]

Is there a way in HTML to specify that a certain field is the default and to give it focus when the page loads?

I have a login screen and would like the user ID field to have focus with the cursor sitting there when the page loads --- but I'm unable to figure out how to do it (or even if it can be done).

Thanks in advance.

You mean like this at the bottom of the page?

<script>
document.forms['formnamehere'].elements['textboxnamehere'].focus();
</script>
