Set Initial Focus Behavior

Set Initial Focus Behavior

When a page is loaded, sets the initial focus to the specified field or the first field in the tab order of the page. In other words, the component attaches the JWL FOCUS or SELECTED action to the onload event of the page body tag. Without this behavior, browsers usually set initial focus to the URL field in the toolbar.
