This question is not specific to bootstrap. The solution is the same whether you're using bootstrap or not. — Richard, Jan 17 '13 at 13:19

There isn't a Bootstrap-specific class or function that does this*, but HTML5 provides the autofocus attribute for input fields.

*-Since you are using Bootsrap, and Bootstrap is powered by jQuery, you could "shim" older browsers that otherwise don't support autofocus:

$('[autofocus]:first').focus();

Hmm, my answer is pretty much a duplicate of the answers to the Q/A @Richard references. Original content: fail. – Jeromy French Jan 17 '13 at 16:47

Tip: If you have Modernizr you can check if this shim is needed with `Modernizr.input.autofocus` ( – user1068352 Jul 16 '14 at 19:28
