Simple HTA question

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I couldn't find any HTA-specific newsgroups so please forgive me if this
post isn't relevant to this newsgroup.

I have a an HTA with embedded vbs and wsh. The HTA has 2 textboxes and a
submit button and I'd like the focus to be on the first textbox when the HTA
is launched (so the user doesn't have to click or tab to get there). Anyone
know how to do this? Here's the code for the first textbox:

<input type="text" name="login" size="30" tabindex="1">

If there's a more appropriate newsgroup for this question please let me
know.

Thanks...

Sub window_OnLoad
dim form
Set form = document.xxxForm * Where xxxform is the name of the HTLM
form.
form.login.value = ""
form.login.focus * Here is where you set focus
on the first field
end sub

You can have subs like Login_OnFocus, Login_OnBlur, Login_OnChange,
Login_OnClick and perform whatever tasks are needed based on the current
condition.

Also you might want to look at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/htas.mspx. There are
some really great tips on creating HTA's.

Hope this helps.
