I am having a problem with Classic ASP, I want to set focus to the starting form at the top of the script
There appears to be lots of information on how to do it with .NET, but I don't use it just basic ASP
Can anyone point me in the right direction please
Thanks

Topshed,
There are a lot of things you need/want to do with a web page that APS can't do. That's why you need a good working knowledge of javascript and HTML to get everything to work well. Focus is a good example. ASP.NET takes care of this handily, but not ASP.
If all you want to do is set the focus to a particular form field when the page is rendered, do it in the <body> tag with 'onload'. Example:
<body onload='document.frmLogin.username.focus();'>
HTH,
Don

Can you give an example how ASP.NET takes care of that??

Yes I am aware of the need to learn Java but dont I need a small scxript to utilise <body onload='document.frmLogin.username.focus();'>
in Vanilla ASP
Thanx

No need for any script. You're executing focus() from the onload property of the page body. Just make sure you have a form and controls on that form -
<body onload='document.<your form name>.<your input text box>.focus();'>
