Need help with onclick event to cause cursor movement into form box

[Matthew]

Hi, how can I create a <A HREF'ed> image that, with an onclick event
will cause the cursor to jump into a particularly assigned text form
input field?

<a href="whyThisWontWorkWithoutJS.html"
onclick="document.forms['formName'].elements['elementName'].focus();
return false">
<img src="myImage.png" alt="Click My Image" /></a>

With:

<form name="formName" action="">
<input type="text" name="elementName">
</form>

Should give you a starting point.

<a href="whyThisWontWorkWithoutJS.html"

While I normally use this href as well for examples, this case
actually have a reasonable alternative URL-fragment that can be used:
<a href="#elementId"
where you give the element id="elementId".
