You can do it with JavaScript. Something like: <script language="JavaScript"> document.formname.fieldname.focus(); </script>

As it is now, on some pages, I either have to 'tab' to the first field, or click themouse in that field. Is there anyway to automate this, so that when a page loads it automatically goes to the first field, and 'highlights' the entry area? (Btw, I tried 'tabindex=1' but it still does not do what I'd like it to. Any ideas, suggestions, or admontions gratefully accepted.
