I faced a very interesting issue.
I’m trying to set the focus on a input field using Javascript (no jQuery, I tried that also but not worked) using window.onLoad.

Just take a look at this fiddle : setFocusOnLoad

It’s working fine in chrome browser but not in Firefox. Is there any issue in Firefox? How can I resolve it.

Edited:
Here is the code I copied in html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function onloadFocus(){
                var name = document.getElementById('name');
                //        name.value='window.onload called';
                name.focus();


            }

            window.onload=onloadFocus();
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div><input type='text' value='' id='name' name='name'></div>
    </body>
</html>

    Try adding a slight delay:

    function onloadFocus(){
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById('name').focus()
    }, 10);
}
