I think the thing is you have to trigger the focus() somehow or have it triggered same goes for any other javascript functions, I would think ? $form = new HTML_QuickForm('testForm'); $form->addElement('text','testField','Test:',array('onMouseOver' => 'document.testForm.testField.focus();')); $form->display(); Here the user has to move the mouse over the textfield which is not what I want. Here's some javascript example. http://www.js-examples.com/example/?ex=127&mode=1 Another way to focus would to put in a <body onLoad="document.testForm.testField.focus();"> I want to try and keep the focus() inside or as close as possible to the form code as possible. Any ideas ? Birgir
