set focus within a php form

hi,

if i have a form within a php script which looks something like

<input type=\"text\" name =\"title\" size=\"5\" maxlength=\"6\">

how can i have the cursor automatically flashing in the text box?

Please be aware that this is within php tags.

Thanks

Paul

Can't be done with php.

It can, however, be done with javascript.
