Browser automatically scrolls to contact form in footer (undesirable)
Hi all,
I've built a new home page for an existing site, and this includes a
simple contact form in the footer. When the page loads the browser
automatically scrolls down to this form, with cursor in the first field.
This obviously isn't desirable.
Plain HTML forms don't normally invoke this behaviour, which has me
thinking that some JavaScript may be involved. Either on the part of
Tapestry, or Bootstrap which it employs.
If blocking forms from grabbing focus is possible with a simple CSS
directive then I've not found it. What would be the simplest or
cleanest solution to this potentially common problem?
Thanking you in advance for any suggestions.
Chris.

Hi,
Tapestry automatically puts focus on the first field of a form. You can
switch off this behaviour by setting the "autofocus" property on the form
to false.
See
