Using autofocus in IE

Question

I am a newbie in html and I m trying to set autofocus on an input text field...

But this is not supported in IE... is it possible to use JS in order to solve this problem?

You can use `document.getElementById('field').focus()` – Blender Sep 26 '12 at 19:27 — Blender, Sep 26 '12 at 19:27

Javascript:

document.getElementById('elemID').focus();

jQuery:

$('selector').focus();

Yes you can do this with javascript

e.g.

<script type="text/javascript">
   function formfocus() {
      document.getElementById('element').focus();
   }
   window.onload = formfocus;
</script>

Where 'element' is the id of your html input.
