    it's a very simple thing, I can't remember what it was, all I know was that it was just a simple command like < align> or something like that

    Add the following in the <body> tag of your page:

    onLoad="document.form.element.focus()"

    where form is the name of the form and element is the name of the element you want the focus to be on.

    It's Javascript.

    <body onLoad = "javascript:document.getElementById('myTextField').focus()">
