In the head section of the page, put:

<script language="JavaScript" >

function fieldFocus(){
	document.formname.fieldname.focus();
}

</script>

In the body tag, put:

onLoad="fieldFocus();"

And, obviously, replace formname with the name of your form and fieldname
with the name of the field you want to have focus (the cursor in).

Can I force the blinking cursor to be present in a particular text input box
when a page is loaded? I know this is the Languages list (the only one I
continue to subscribe to; it's the most helpful to me and the least
"flamable"), but I'd hate to have to sign up on another list just for this
one question.
