Subject: Automatically selected fields

I've noticed that sites like hotmail and my webmail - http://webmail.ntlworld.com - automatically select the first text field in the form when you access them but I can't find anything in the source that would make them do that. Any ideas how they're doing it?

Many thanks in advance cos it's driving me nuts

They're probably using JavaScript with an onLoad command directing focus on a certain form field.
