I'm trying to set the default focus on an input box when the page loads (example: google). My page is very simple, yet I can't figure out how to do this.
This is what I've got so far:
<html>
<head>
<title>Password Protected Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function FocusOnInput()
{
document.getElementById("PasswordInput").focus();
}
</script>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body, html {height: 100%; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}
#outer {width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}
#middle {vertical-align: middle}
#centered {width: 280px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align:center;}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="FocusOnInput()">
<table id="outer" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td id="middle">
<div id="centered">
<form action="verify.php" method="post">
<input type="password" name="PasswordInput"/>
</form>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
How come that doesn't work while this works fine?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function FocusOnInput()
{
document.getElementById("InputID").focus();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="FocusOnInput()">
<form>
<input type="text" id="InputID">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Help is much appreciated :-)
