It is not Java Script, because Java has no script.

It is ..... Javascript.
That is the part between the "" is.

Without the ; it could also be vbscript in IE,
since in fact it is mainly DOM.

Ignore him and do what you think best!

Chances are he will not pay, however, for being ignored. ;-}

onload="document.login.userrname.focus();"

More cross browser safe use:

<body
onload="document.forms['login'].elements['userrname'].focus();">

If the client wants the curosr set to the default position then isn't
JavaScript the only way to do this?

Regardless don't do this unless you will take special care. I'm usually
half way through typing my password by the time the page loads. Then
the focus is changed and the last half of my password is typed in the
username field. So unless you are going to write code that looks for
what has already been typed and takes care of this situation don't
bother with the JavaScript to set focus.

Or if you want to be hard-core and robust... ;)

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var f,lf,u,t;
if ((f=document.forms)
&& (lf=f.login)
&& (u=lf.elements.username)
&& (t=u.type)
&& ("text"==t)
&& (u.value==u.defaultValue)
) {
u.focus();
}
}
</script>
