How can you have an active tab cursor?

Guest_imported · May 11, 2001

Hi,

I've created a form with four input fields. However, I would like the tab cursor to be flashing in the first field instead of having to use the mouse to click on the field. This would save time when typing in large amounts of data.

I have tried code like the following but to no avail. Could anyone help or have a solution to this problem.

<%onload="document.logonform.field.focus()%>

Thanks

well, that should work, actually, but you need to close the end quote, and put in your handy dandy semicolon, and past that, you could even refer to it ordinally, like so:

<body onLoad="document.formName.elements[0].focus();">

will put the focus on the first element in your form. Adjust as needed.
