[SOLVED] default focus to an input field

[anatak]

Hello,

 

How can I put the focus to an input field when the page loads ?

 

I would like the focus to go to the login form on my page.

I tried tabindex="1" but that puts the focus only on the input field when the tab key is pressed.

 

kind regards

anatak

do it like this:

 

<script language=""javascript>
window.onload=function() {
document.loginform.username.focus();
}
</script>

<form name="loginform" action="whatever.php" method="post">
Login: <input type="text" name="username"><br><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Sign In">
<input type="reset">
</form>

thank you

I am going to put this on closed

 

this may sound like a stupid question

is there a way to do this if the user has javascript disabled ?

 

My guess is no but I am not sure of course
