[SOLVED] Setting focus on an HTML input box on page load

Setting focus on an HTML input box on page load

I'm trying to set the default focus on an input box when the page loads (example: google). My page is very simple, yet I can't figure out how to do this.

This is what I've got so far:

<html>
<head>
 <title>Password Protected Page</title>

 <script type="text/javascript">
 function FocusOnInput()
 {
 document.getElementById("PasswordInput").focus();
 }
 </script>

 <style type="text/css" media="screen">
  body, html {height: 100%; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}
  #outer {width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}
  #middle {vertical-align: middle}
  #centered {width: 280px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align:center;}
 </style>
</head>
<body onload="FocusOnInput()">
 <table id="outer" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr><td id="middle">
   <div id="centered">
  <form action="verify.php" method="post">
   <input type="password" name="PasswordInput"/>
  </form>
   </div>
  </td></tr>
 </table>
</body>
</html>

How come that doesn't work while this works fine?

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function FocusOnInput()
{
     document.getElementById("InputID").focus();
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="FocusOnInput()">
  <form>
       <input type="text" id="InputID">
  </form>
</body>

</html>

Help is much appreciated :-)

Solution

This line:

<input type="password" name="PasswordInput"/>

should have an id attribute, like so:

<input type="password" name="PasswordInput" id="PasswordInput"/>
