Hi

Just to make the things a bit clear as you went a bit the wrong way to find
your solution.
Putting the code after the form was the right approach.

1) You don't need to use getElementById as your in a form you can simply do
document.reparatur.art and this work in all browser as it is part of the
form document object.
2) to focus simply do document.reparatur.art.focus()
3) On the initial request I think our friend wanted to select one option as
well document.reparatur.art.selectedIndex = 2

Then the code should look a bit more like this 

>  <form action="" method="get" name="reparatur">
> 
>  <table width="100%">
>    <tr>
>      <td>
>        <select name="art" id="art">
>          <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>
>      </td>
>    </tr>
>  </table>
>  </form>
>  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
>      document.reparatur.art.focus();
	document.reparatur.art.selectedIndex = 2
>  </script>
