you can do it like this
<script language="javascript">
function focusFirst(){
document.frmEmployee.txtName.focus();
}
</script>
<body onLoad="focusFirst()">
<form action="#" name="frmEmployee">
<input type="text" name="txtName" value="tata">
</form>

Subject: Re: Setting focus in JSP
Here is a little more background, which I probably should have included:
The firstfocus() function is called from the JSP's BODY ONLOAD event. I'm
using Communicator 4.77 and IE 5. It does not work with either one. There
is no error message, either. The form appears properly, except that focus
is not set as I would like.
Thanks!
Henry

Henry,
I don't know why this code didn't worked. I tryed it in
differents way, and they all worked in IE 6 and mozilla 0.9.8
Not in Netscape 4.78 anyway, without any error.
Watch my code :
<form action="#" name="frmEmployee">
<input type="text" name="txtName" value="tata">
<a href="#" onMouseOver="FirstFocus()">focus</a> <!-- work -->
</form>
<Script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
setTimeout("document.frmEmployee.txtName.select()",200) //work
document.frmEmployee.txtName.select(); //work
function FirstFocus() {
document.frmEmployee.txtName.select();
}
document.onLoad=FirstFocus() //work
</script>
