Newbie's question: I'd like to set the first typing position (flashing | cursor) at the first INPUT box. Below is my code, how do I set the flashing | at the First INPUT without tabbing?
TIA
Please enter the new employee information:<br>
<FORM action="<?PHP echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
First Name: <INPUT tabindex="1" type="text" name="FirstName"
maxlength="25"><br>
Last Name: <INPUT tabindex="2" type="text" name="LastName"
maxlength="25"><br>
Address: <INPUT tabindex="3" type="text" name="Address"
maxlength="255"><br>
Position: <INPUT tabindex="4" type="text" name="Position"
maxlength="50"><br>
Male: <INPUT name="Sex" type="radio" value="M">
Female: <INPUT name="Sex" type="radio" value="F">
<br>
<br>
<INPUT type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>

You need to add a *onLoad* to your <BODY> tag and then set the focus to the input field's name. The above URL describes it in much more details. Hope that helps.
