Using a <%= form_tag ... %>, how do I give a form a name, so that I can reference it with javascript? I sure can''t figure this out from the docs... Thanks, Shelby PS - what I am trying to do is just have the focus in the first form field when the form is loaded. There has to be an easy way to do this, but I can''t figure it out... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Shelby,
I don''t think the form has an onload event to tap into. You can give a
form
a name by
<%= form_tag {}, {:name => ''my_name'' } %>
....
or alternatively you could just put in some javascript inline below the form
<%= javascript_tag
"$(''the_id_of_the_field_to_focus'').focus()" %>

Sorry one caveat.. That assumes that your using the prototype library
if not
<%= javascript_tag
"getElementById(''id_of_field'').focus()" %>
