    Default Google search box

    On google's home page the searchbox allows you to start typing the moment you load the page (without putting your cursor in the box).

    Does anyone know how this is done? Presumably using Javascript?

    Probably not the best way to do it, but this should work:

    Code:
    <body onload="document.FORM_NAME.ELEMENT_NAME.focus();">
    Hope this helps.
