HTML5: Autofocus
Autofocus will bring the "focus" of the cursor to that field when the page loads. Typically, you would bring focus to the first input field of the form.
<input type="text" autofocus name="q">
<form action="https://cscie12.dce.harvard.edu/echo" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Autofocus </legend>
<p>The following field should "autofocus":
</p>
<p>Name:
<input size="50" name="name" type="text" autofocus="autofocus"/>
</p> </fieldset>
<p>
<input type="submit"/>
</p>
</form>
