Autofocus 2001

[jlewis@lewis.org]

I think I just reinvented a 2 year old wheel.  The webmistress has been
bugging me to make the Username field on the login page focused on page
load.  I just did some hacking on IMP 2.2.3 to do this, then searched the
list archive to see if it's been discussed before.  It seems it was back
in June 1999.  Using Netscape 4.76 on Linux, I'm not seeing the random
tabstop issue...and it's a pretty safe bet that most of our users are
using IE anyway.

Here's how I did it.  Is there a better way?
