Thank to all those who responded, this works in Netscape 4.76/6 and IE 
6


function thisFocus() { //sets focus of form

if(document.layers){

   
self.focus();document.layers['Main'].document.loginform.UserName.focus();

  }

else {

    self.focus();document.loginform.UserName.focus();

  }

}


and in the Body tag:


onLoad="thisFocus();"


>>>>

<excerpt>    This JavaScript snippet in the body tag works fine in IE and
Netscape 6, 

but is causing an error in Netscape 4.76 (Win98) 


onLoad="self.focus();document.loginform.UserName.focus();" 


The form field is in a table, and the form itself is in a DIV. 

Is this somehow causing the problem? Is there a work around?
