How do you place the cursor in the textbox (only one, it's a search page) automatically when the page loads? Like Google does.

Google is your friend:

I can't get that to work, and I've already found that.

Could you give an example of your code? This code is working fine for me in Safari and FireFox:

HTML Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Test</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<input type="text" id="textbox1" size="20">
		<script>document.getElementById('textbox1').focus()</script>
	</body>
</html>

Ok, I got it to work. I didn't know you had to add the "id" attribute to it. The site's Spiralfive Search. Thanks.
