Ah-hah! That did it. My problem was in leaving off the "()" at the end of the BODY ONLOAD function call. Changing it to
ONLOAD = "focusfirst()" makes all the difference. It must be a carryover from ASP. Thanks again!

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!

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> =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
