How do you set the focus to the first form field?

[chinmay.sahoo]

You cannot do this with HTML. However, you can include a script after the form that sets the focus to the appropriate field, like this:

<form id="myform" name="myform" action=...>
<input type="text" id="myinput" name="myinput" ...>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.myform.myinput.focus();
</script>
