why is this?
Marvin,
Although someone else has suggested you use JavaScript to set the
focus on a particular form field, I urge you instead to use HTML
tabindex property:
<p>User Name: <input tabindex="1" type="text" name="username"> </p> <br>
<p>Password: <input tabindex="2" type="password" name="password"> </p> <br>
<p><input tabindex="3" type="submit" value="Login"> </p>
HTML 4.01 Specification
17 Forms
17.11 Giving focus to an element
17.11.1 Tabbing navigation
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.11.1
Simplistic JavaScript solutions place focus on an input field after
the page has completely loaded, often after the user has begun
interacting with the form, causing irritating focus jumps in mid-input.
Regards,
Paul
