Question

I have a very simple one page website that has a input field in it. I want to make the input field focused when the window/site is loaded so that the user/visitor can start typing on it right away the site is loaded!

I want it NOT IN JQUERY. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLUTION IN JAVASCRIPT PLEASE.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a new input field attribute call autofocus. Supported by all browsers except IE

You can use that and provide fallback with the solutions others are providing

var i = document.createElement('input');
if(!('autofocus' in i)) {
   window.onload=function(){
    document.getElementById('ID').focus();
   });
}
