MS Exchange webmail uses html like that attached in Firefox 1.0 (and IE 6) the
input filed has focus set when the page loads. This means you can immediately
start typing your username. In FF 1.0+ focus is not set, and you have to
manually set it before typing.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached html file
2.
3.
Actual Results:
focus is not set on input field

focus should be set on input files

use a different method:
(your method is the IE-way, this is the W3C way)
<html>
<body>
<form name="logonForm">
<input name="mailbox" value="" size="20" type="text">
<script language="JavaScript">
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
works fine
INVA ?

or when you prefer to call elements direct
<html>
<body>
<form id="logonForm">
<input id="mailbox" value="" size="20" type="text">
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms['logonForm'].elements['mailbox'].focus();
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the explanation as to why it does not work. However, why has the
behaviour changed? A lot of people use MS webmail, and this change means that
you have to reach for the mouse while logging in.

document.formName.formElementName is not "the IE-way", it's as old as
JavaScript: the testcase works as expected in Navigator 2.02.
Regression window: works in 1.8a2 2004052410, fails in 1.8a2 2004052810.

This regressed when FlushPendingNotifications got more fine-grained. We used
to flush out everything for the content list accesses in that JS, now we just
flush content.
The result is that frames may not be up-to-date yet when focus() is called. So
we should make sure to flush them out in focus().
