Q123 Upon loading a page with a form, is it possible to set the focus to a form object, e.g. "User Name" Textbox?

Yes it is possible, in several ways, but the most effective is:

<form name="myFormName">
<input type="text" name="myTextField">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.myFormName.myTextField.focus();
//--></script>
