 Hi, Conor,

As I recall, HtmlForm uses fairly straight-forward rendering and doesn't cater for JavaScript
commands such as focus or validation.

Kind regards

Bob

PS: Starting with Click 2.3.0 Behaviors could be used to set focus to a field instead of having that
responsibility on the form.
PPS: Seems HTML5 brings focus to input fields: http://www.phpguru.org/html5-autofocus-jump.html

Bob -
Thank you for the clarification on this. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't 
missing something when I used the setFocus method withing a HtmlForm.

Regards

Conor
