Hi Archers,

A small annoynace of AUR is that when the page loads, you have to click in the search field. As aur.archlinux.org is a page where search is very probably the most used feature, I think one should not have to do that.

The required modification is very simple -- just place an onLoad="document.searchform.K.focus()" in the body tag and specify the name in the form tag accordingly.

Thanks for looking into this.
This task depends upon

Is there another way?
I'm pretty intent on keeping javascript out of the AUR.

I don't think so, why? 99% of browsers today support it anyway.. and those that do not simply will ignore it.

In HTML5, there is an "autofocus" attribute [1] for form elements. In versions prior to HTML5, it cannot be done without using JavaScript.
