Setting Default Focus in CForms

Hi there,

I've been trying to set the first form item to have focus when the form is loaded. Normally it would just be a case of setting 

document.form.name.focus();

but the issue seems to be that CForms uses a name:input format for the id. Is there a way of setting the focus in CForms? I looked at the Widget API but couldn't see a function to set the widget as focus (unless I'm missing something... which is quite possible).

Thanks,

Gary

Have you tried

   document.form.elements['name:input'].focus?
