Give focus to an input field of a form

Rails
1

Hi,
I am new to rails and I have setup Typo on my site. One little
thing bugs me, the login page doesn’t give focus to the “user_login”
field. I was wondering what do I need to do to make rails help with
this? I have seen some simple inline javascript to set the focus,
sort of like:

document.<form_name>.user_login.focus()

However the rails view doesn’t have name for the form, so that code
won’t work. Below is the code for the login.rhtml from Typo:

<% form_tag :action=> “login” do %>

<h3>Typo</h3>

<div class="form admin">
  <% if flash[:notice] %>
    <h4><%= flash[:notice] %></h4>
  <% end %>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <label for="user_login" class="block"><%= _('Username')%>:</

label>



  • <%= _(‘Password’)
    %>:



    • »" class="primary" />

    <%= link_to "« " + _(‘Back to the blog’), { :controller
    => ‘/articles’ } %>


    <% end %>

    I want to give focus to the user_login field when the page loads. Any
    ideas?

    Thanks!
