i need a simple script that makes it so that once a page is loaded, typed text goes straight into a text box in a form. In other words, the text box is automatically selected. thanks!

@gameguy43authorMar 06.2005 — lol, never seen that before, where exactly do i put the name of the input? do i also need to give the form a name?

@gameguy43authorMar 06.2005 — figured it out, this is how it should look:
<i>
</i>&lt;body bgcolor="black" OnLoad="document.f.calc.focus()"&gt;

f is the form name and calc is the input name. thanks for pushing me in the right direction, pay attention to your cases!

lol, that O in "OnLoad" should be capitalised, must be something odd in the server...

Success!
