I select an element to focus on when the form is opened. But on my computer the focus does not show up. I have opened the form in another computer and I can see that it works. I'm using Windows 10 with Norton. Any ideas?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi David,
Since your form is hosted on S-Drive I would open a support topic and ask the CC gurus why it's not working on the embedded form but works on the actual form.
Auto focus works here.

On my Windows 10 computer the autofocus of http://www.telgogolf.com/contact.html
(a) works in Chrome, Opera, Midori;
(b) doesn't work in Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, Edge.

I notice that the code output by FB Preview is
<div class="fb-input-box">
<input name="Name" id="item2_text_1" autofocus type="text" maxlength="20"
placeholder="" autocomplete="off" data-hint="" />
</div>

Somehow this has got changed to
<div class="fb-input-box">
<input name="Name" id="item2_text_1" autofocus="" maxlength="20" placeholder="" data-hint="" autocomplete="off" type="text">
</div>

I'm therefore wondering whether Serif WebPlus X8 (I also used to use that) didn't support HTML 5, and changed the code when it found it in an HTML box.

Entering (without the inverted commas) 'html autofocus not working' in Google suggests that autofocus failures can be the result of many different causes, including browser issues and timing of page loading.
