Could this possibly be because the page hasn't finished loading yet?
That often occurs on sites with agency-issued banenrs and the like.
onLoad() will only be called once the page has completely loaded. You
could as an experiment try putting the script inline after your form
instead.
..
<input name="username">
</form>
<script language="Javascript">
document.forms.login.username.focus()
</script>
