Anyway to onFocus without Javascript?

Does Struts provide any mechanism for focusing on a text field in the event
that the field did not pass validation - WITHOUT using Javascript?  Not sure
if this is possible...thought i'd ask.
Thanks,
Jessica

If the focus attribute is used in the html:form tag it actually generates JavaScript.

Well, there is, but I don't think this answers the original question.

You can use the focus attribute of the html:form tag:
    <html:form action="[action]" focus="[name of field to focus on]">

Alas, this will make it so that that field is always focussed on, not the
field that gave the error.  I am not sure if that is possible.

Sorry, Jessica,
There is no way to focus on to an html field without using JavaScript.
