Is there a way to have the cursor already in the search field when page loads? We want to scan barcodes to enter a part number. And now you have to put the cursor there.
Thx!

<script>SetToFirstControl();</script>

Hi,
here is a sample code:

<script>

document.getElementById("ctlSearchFor").focus();

</script>



Add this code at the end of page on the Visual Editor tab in HTML mode.
