AW: [Javascript] Re: <select> focussieren

Tue Feb 8 06:54:33 CST 2005

hm, thanks, but it doesn't seem to work when loading the page.
here is more of the code:

<form action="/software/reparaturen.php" method="post" name="reparatur" target="magh" onSubmit="self.close()">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.reparatur.getElementById("art").focus();
</script>
	  <select name="art" onChange="fahrzeugkauf()">
	    <option value=""></option>
	    <option value="A">A</option>
	    <option value="D">D</option>
	    <option value="I">I</option>
	    <option value="L">L</option>
	    <option value="T" selected>T</option>
	    <option value="Text">Text</option>
	    <option value="F">F</option>
	  </select>
</form>

should the javascript start before the form or what else can be wrong?
