Setting Focus

[Andi B]

Greetings all, and many thanks for your helpful replies to my earlier post
today. I have another question now, if you would be so kind again:

How do I make it so that the cursor appears in a text field automatically
when a web page loads, or after data has been cleared from the field with a
clear button?

Regards

Re: Setting Focus

Thanks - in addition, I forgot to ask this earlier: the form creates a popup
window to display results from a user search. There is a script controlled
close button on the popup page - is it possible to have this close the popup
window, and then move the focus back to the form element?

Shure, just use:

opener.document .formName.field Name.focus();

In your close function
