Hello Everybody!

I am just curious how do you set the blinking text cursor blink at the very first text box in a form without clicking in the text box? That means by default, it should be blinking at the very 1st text box without selecting it. This way it should be more comfortable for the user rather than having to select by himself.

Thanks for readning this!

It is actually very easy...

Just place this onLoad event into your BODY tag as shown. Then customize the different parts based upon your form and element names.

<b>onLoad="document.formname.fieldname.focus()"</b>

formname = Whatever your actual form's name is
fieldname = Whatever field you want the cursor in

Is there an alternate method than using the BODY tag?

MX's templates lock the BODY tag, so if I want to use the onLoad statement on one or two pages, I'd have to unlock the template.

You need to select the Body tag then use the menu:

Modify|Templates|Make Attributes Editable

You'll need to add the onLoad event in the 'Editable Tags Attributes' dialogue box.
