Set form field as default

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,
I have a search page on my Intranet. There is only one form field on
the page. This is is the field that one enters their search criteria. My
question, how can I make this field the "default" field. What I mean is to
have the cursur automatically go to that field when the page loads?

TIA

Hi,

Edit your body tag -
<body onload="document.forms[0].fields[0].focus();">
