Yes, DHTMLPage1 is the name of my form.

It appears under the 'name' and the 'id' already.

But thanks for responding. Any more ideas ?

The control I am trying to set the focus on is a textarea control.

The form has a 'RESET' button which clears all fields and sets the focus to this control. This works fine. I just can't get it to set the focus when the form is loaded !!!!
