Focus work in IE but not Firefox

[RPrinceton]

Hi Everyone,
Below is a javascript code snippet I use to position the insertion pointer on a field upon detecting an entry error. It works in IE but not Firefox. What obvious thing am I missing? I have not tried it with Opera or Netscape.
Please advise. Thx in advance.
Regards,
RPrinceton

code snippet:
function pos_csr(tabFld)
{
if (!tabFld)
{
}
else
{
document.getElementById(tabFld).focus();
}
}

Hi cLFlaVa,
I would be positioning at whatever form field is contained
in the variable named tabFld on an onLoad event.

Hi Everyone,
I have figured this one out. It appears that Firefox keys off of the id attribute for cursor positioning when using getElementById whereas IE only requires the name attribute. I simply added the id attribute to the HTML and it now works. See below.
<input type="text" id="somefld" name="somefld">
