Have curser go to firs form field

[kevinritt]

I'm not sure how this can be done but I have a form to enter data into a database. Is there a way to have the cursor go to the first text field when the page is opened?

Thanks

document.myform.myinput.focus();<br />

yep, try this in your header code:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

    window.onload = function() {

        document.FORM_NAME_HERE.FIELD_NAME_HERE.focus();

    }
</script>

not with php. javascript can. give that form element an id, then attach an onload event and use:

 

document.getElementById('inputid').focus();

 

or what Maq said

Yeah I know.  Whenever I take the time to answer a topic, someone else has usually beaten me there!
