Autofocus Options

[fixit]

I use a search engine a lot.

I would like the webpage to start with the cursor already in the search box.

I understand autofocus can do that.

Can I edit a webpage using autofocus and would it work?

If so, can someone help me with editing the webpage ?

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if you mean a search box on one of your own pages or not. If it is your own page and the browser supports it, sure, it will work. If it isn't your own page, obviously you can't edit it.

Can you show me how to edit it ?

You didn't reply to the question Pandy asked you: is it for your own web page or not?

If it's your own page, how did you create it in the first place?
If it's not, then there's no way you can edit it.

If you do not want to help, then just say so.

Seamonkey has editing capabilities.

I have edited webpages that were not mine and they continue to work fine.

OK, so what is it you want help with? You linked to a page that explains how to use autofocus so I guess that's not what you are asking.

I would like to find out how to add autofocus to a webpage.

This is the webpage.

http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/web/advanc...ltavista&p=

I would like the cursor at the box next to "all of these words."

Some browsers let users run their own user javascripts on web pages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey#..._other_browsers

You add the autofocus attribute to the start tag for the form field you want to have that feature as the page you linked to shows. What is your problem with that? It doesn't help to repeat the same question since we don't understand what part you need help with.

Or doesn't Greasmonkey let you alter the HTML after all, just add custom JavaScript?

Note that the OP wrote Seamonkey (the browser), while I wrote about Greasemonkey (the Firefox extension)...

A user javascript can of course modify the HTML too.

[pandy]

Yeah, I meant Seamonkey, what the OP at long last told us he wanted to use.

That's what I meant. Maybe it's JavaScript the OP wants help with and not HTML. It would be easier if he told us what he wants of course, but I guess that won't happen this side of Christmas.

Attached a pic of where I would like the cursor.

Since the problem has everyone stumped, I thought I would share the answer. :-)

CODE

<input size="28" id="f0va" name="va" type="text" autofocus />

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Cor. 9:7

But that's what I said and what it says on the page you linked to yourself. I'd say stumpedness remains.
