Another possibility: can I integrate Javascript with the VBScript?
possibly, no definately, but why don't you concentrate on providing
interesting and unique content for your visitors in HTML before trying to
mess with their browsing.
One other question: I have a login page with the usual
username/password fields, but I cannot find a way to force the cursor
into the username field by default -- in other words, the user must
click there in order to begin typing. Ideas?
It's a good idea to leave it alone. The issues have been well documented
here and in other groups: may I suggest you search the archive at:

Hi William,
Thanks for your response. I should have added a little more info to my
original post. This is a set of intranet pages for my employees' use
only. I'm not trying to mess with their browser or their favorite
list, I'm just trying to take them out to the web site of their
preference (I'm guessing that would be their default homepage). They
all use the same version of IE, so cross-browser incompatibility isn't
an issue (in fact, it's something of a security bonus!)
There is, in fact, little in the way of content. This is a framework
for them to add details for various projects into a documentation
database. So there's a login page (and assorted retry pages), a change
password page, a main page which includes a search function and either
a textarea to add comments to the project, or a display area to show
the previous documentation history.
In regard to the latter comment -- your suggestion seems totally
opposed to what I have experienced on the web. When I'm presented with
a web page asking for me to login, I can normally just start typing
because the focus is already in the username field. Can you suggest
something to search on, I have tried "default field", "field
selection", and "cursor placement", but haven't found anything which
look relevant after a cursory review.
Thanks,
gpence
