Try changing this:

Code:

<body bgcolor="#C0C0C0">

to this:

Code:

<body bgcolor="#C0C0C0" onload="document.forms[0].username.focus();">

If that fails, add a tabIndex attribute to your "username" input box:

Code:

<input type="text" name="username" size="20" tabIndx="1">

Incidentally, consider using CSS to remove the duplication of font and colour styles on the input boxes.

Hope this helps,
Dan
