Is it possible to set the default input focus on an HTML form without using JavaScript, for example:
<html>
<form>
Input 1: <input type="text" name="textbox1"/>
<br/>
Input 2: <input type="text" name="textbox2"/>
</form>
</html>
I want to set the default focus to either of the text-boxes when the form loads without using JavaScript (as I want the behaviour to occur when a user has js disabled).
You can do it in HTML5, but otherwise, you must use JavaScript.
HTML5 allows you to add
autofocusto your form element, eg:This does work in browsers which support HTML5 (Or rather, browsers which support this particular part of HTML5) but as you know, not everybody can use it yet.
