html:form focus in pages with several forms

           Summary: html:form focus in pages with several forms
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jain@gmx.net


The JavaScript generated by the 'focus' html:form attribute does not always 
work with pages that contain several forms. Consider the following situation:

  <html:form action="/search" method="get">
    <html:hidden property="query"/>
    <html:hidden property="offset" value="${offset}"/>
    <html:hidden property="limit"/>
    <html:submit value="Next results"/>
  </html:form>
  ...
  <html:form action="/search" method="get" focus="query">
    <html:text property="query"/>
    <html:submit value="New search"/>
  </html:form>

The generated JavaScript matches the first form instead of the second.

    var focusControl = document.forms["form"].elements["query"];

Also, in this particular case, perhaps because 'query' is a hidden field in the 
first form, Internet Explorer 6 
says: "Error: 'document.forms.form.elements.query' is null or not an object". 
(Note: 'form' is the name of the ActionForm)...
