Setting focus on page load 2

[boatdrinks]

I have this in the body tag of my asp.net page

onLoad="javascript:document.form1.insertfirstname.focus()"

When the page loads I get the error

document.form1.insertfirstname is null or not an object

What can I do about this?

You can check the spelling and capitalization of your form name and field name, and you can change the code to this:

onload = "document.forms['form1'].elements['insertfirstname'].focus();"

1. You don't need the [tt]javascript:[/tt] prefix to onload.
2. Try using [tt]document.forms['form1'].elements['insertfirstname'].focus();[/tt]
3. Are you sure the names are correct?
4. What browser are you using?

insertfirstname had capital letters, I didn't know it was a problem

Thanks everyone
