On the initial display of my HTML page, all the fields are blank. I would like to have the cursor positioned at the first text input field. I have used the onload event for the Body of document. In the event, I coded a focus() and select() for the field I want the cursor moved to. When the field is blank, the cursor does not appear. If I force a value into the field, it will display highlighted. How can I have the cursor positioned and blinking at the first input field when my form is initially displayed??
 
Try using this code in the BODY tag:

<BODY onload=&quot;document.FormName.ObjectName.focus();&quot;>
