that's correct.  you can't pass parameters in a function call from an event handler in script.  however, you can use an anonymous function.

onload = function()
{
  defaultFocus(document.forms[0].elements['last_name']);
}

an advantage of this is that you can now call multiple functions from the onload, each with their own set of arguments.

enjoy,

.jeff
