Paige,
I had asked the question originally and with a little bit of help from
everyone I got it to work. Here is what I used:
<script>
<!--
function setfocus() {
document.(form name).(field name).focus();
}
// --></script>
In your body the code should look wxactly like this:
"<body onLoad=setfocus()>"
In the site:
<form action="someaction" method=get name=(form name)>
<input type="text(example)" name="some name">
the most important thing to remember is that since not all browsers will
support javascript you really need to comment out that script. also the
other important thing is to declare your form and filed names.
Good Luck and let me know how it turns out.
Cheers

Hello Jann,
It appears that you've answered a question I didn't even know how to ask
yet. But I can't quite get it to work. Would you please look at the code
below and tell me what is wrong with it? "CVS3WP02.cfm" is the web page and
"UserId" is the loggon Id field which I would like to receive focus upon the
page loading. TIA.
Regards,
Paige
</BODY>
<Script>
document."CVS3WP02.cfm.UserId".focus()
</script>
</HTML>
