If you have a form named "frmSubmit" and a textfeild named "txtFullName" then you just make a javascript that loads on startup:

Put this function in the <head> tag:

function giveFocus() {
document.frmSubmit.txtFullName.focus();
}

Put this in the bodytag:

<body onload="javascript:giveFocus();">

This will do it...

can be even more generic than that

function giveFocus() {
    document.forms[0][0].focus();
}

will give focus to the first form's first field (as long as its a field type that accepts focus of course)
