Hi Barbara, Nothing to do with cocoon, but you are right; the document is not fully loaded and that's the problem. Try wrapping your code in a function and call it via the onload attribute of the body tag. BTW, you should be using DOM nowdays:
<script language="javascript"> function init() { document.getElementById('my_text').focus(); } </script> </head> <body onload="init()"> Manos Barbara Post wrote: > I know this is a bit offtopic but maybe it is due to cocoon ?
