That will work great in IE, and the tab order will pick up from where you
start the user, but in NS, the next tab will often move back to the first
element on the screen. Very annoying. If you want to do it anyway, however,
use
onLoad="document.SendMail.to.focus();"
or if you're using our templates, which don't have the <body> tag in each
file (so that global bgcolor changes could be done easier), use
<script><!--
document.SendMail.to.focus();
// --></script>
somewhere after the </form> tag towards the bottom of the files. (We'll
probably add this feature to our templates in the next release, anyway, like
the way we've got the focus going to the username field on the login page.)
You'll have to modify the sendmail.html and fwdmsg1.html files. (The
replymsg1.html and draft.html files probably shouldn't get the focus on the
To field, but rather the body field when loaded).
hope this helps,
