Hi,
I am a newbie to CF. I have a form with a few input text boxes. How do I display the page so the cursor is positioned in the 1st text box? Is there an option in CFINPUT or CFFORM?

    Dan,
    Thanks for the direction. For some reason, the only way I could get it to work was including it in the BODY tag (I found a web post) :
    <body onload="document.myform.mytextbox.focus()">

    Perhaps it's because I have other CF geberated Javascript for client side editing.

    Anyway, it works now. Thanks.

    You do it with javascript. This one works reasonably well for us:

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