* How do I make the cursor focused inside the first field of the form please, so
that users can type in it without having to click inside it?
Many thanks.

* Hello,
* You simply should insert a “HTML Content” field in the form with the following
piece of code as its content:

* Great. many thanks. But it now scrolls the page down to where the first field
is. Can it be done so that just the cursor is in the first field without taking
the visitor down to it? I want them to read my article text at the top first.

* Hello [@sallam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sallam/),
* I’m sorry, but that is the common behavior of browser, and in my opinion the
right behavior, if an user sets the focus in an input element is because want
type something on it, so, the input tag shoud be in the viewport.
* Set the focus in the first element was part of the initial versions of the plugin,
but we decide remove it for the same reasons.
* There is an alternative but is not valid in all situations: Set the focus in
the element and scroll the page at top, but if your users are like me, that scroll
the page with the keyboard, or pressing tap between elements, the browser will
be scrolled to display the element with the focus, another possible issue is
if your page includes bookmarks, and an user visit directly the section in your
webpage:
* [http://yourwebsite.com/#your-bookmark](http://yourwebsite.com/#your-bookmark)
* As you will force scrolling to the begining of webpage the users will never access
to the bookmarks directly.
* I’ve described all inconveniences, but it you want move on, the code would be:
