Putting flashing cursor in textbox automatically

[Xam]

Hello Everybody

Can you let me know of a javascript/dom routine that will automatically put
the flashing cursor in the first text box in my form so that it is ready for
entry rather than the user having to click into the first textbox with their
mouse.

Please note that my forms are created dynamically so I won't know the given
name of the first textbox so some form of index would be better.

I have a JS one liner that I've tried, but it doesn't show the cursor
flashing in the text box ready for input. As far as the user is probably
concerned, they think they still have to click into the text box first
before they can type something in because it doesn't look like the textbox
is ready for text entry.

Thanks XAM
