I'd there like to suggest an autofocus attribute for the form element whose presence causes the first visible control to have focus on page load.

Just keep monitoring the DOM until a form control is added, then focus it? That sounds expensive. Are any UAs interested in implementing this? 125616 2 annevk 2016-03-24 17:28:37 +0000 Closing due to lack of follow up.
