autoselected textbox, etc. in form

**djr33** · 05-02-2006, 07:04 AM

this has gotta be easy, and might just be html, not JS.

How does one make a particular text box selected when a page loads, so you can just type, and it'll automatically go in there, rather than just not do a thing because the form/field isn't selected?

Code:

<body onload="document.forms['myform'].elements['mrtextbox'].focus();">
  <form name="myform" action="" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="mrtextbox">
  </form>
</body>

Thanks.

That's the most compatible/best way?

The only way, insofar as I know.
