try with this
document.formna me.controlname. focus();
or
document.getEle mentById('id of the control').focus ();

ex:
[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<body>
<input type="text" id="txtUID" />
</body>[/HTML]

im using javascript for loading the login screen.

in form load i focus the cursor in username textbox.

Add a script to the onload event of the body.
Like this[html]<body onload="documen t.forms[0].username.focus ()">[/html]
Replace username with the name of the username textbox.

Add statement document.getEle mentById("usern ame").focus(); just before return log.

alt is not a valid attribute for input tag.
Use id instead of alt in username field.

There are lots of other mistakes too in your code.

Hi i add the document.getEle mentByid("usern ame").focus(); then login screen doesn't show.

html:

1.<div id="cart">
2.<script type="text/javascript">doc ument.write(dis playLogin());</script>
3.</div>

javascript:

function displayLogin()
{
//html code here

}

Ok, call it just after that part of the code where you have called displayLogin()
[html]<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( displayLogin()) ;
document.getEle mentById('usern ame').focus();
</script>[/html]
