Re: Set keyboard focus to Applet when it is loaded

I have an applet with a JTextArea and I would like the keyboard focus
to be in that JTextArea as soon as the applet is loaded (so that
the user can immediately start typing).

Use an HTML form <input> element for instantaneous
response, an applet needs to looad the VM, then the applet.

Currently I do two things (with no success):

1. use javascript to set the focus on the <applet> element:
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('kbapplet').focus()">
...
<applet id="kbapplet" code=".."></applet>

This JavaScript is typical of the quality of JS written
by Java programmers. It is horrid.

out of curiosity: what's wrong with this? too inefficient?
