Get cursor to show up in input box on pageload

[jruiseco]

How do I make the cursor blink in a particular text input box when the page loads?

An example of this is when you pull up the login page of Yahoo Mail,

http://mail.yahoo.com/,

the cursor is already in the login box and the user can just start typing instead of having to place the cursor then type.

in the body tag say onLoad="document.form_name.text_field_name.focus()"

use the setfocus function. Something like this..

function setfocus() {
document.first.text1.focus();

Your suggestion works. Thanks for the help.
