Spooky tabindex problem...

Using struts 1.1, IE 5.5 (sp2)
I have several <html:text> fields but for some reason the "tabindex" property refuses to work.
The first field is -
<html:text property="projectfullcode" size="4" maxlength="4" tabindex="1"/>
When the page is first displayed you cannot tell where the focus is, press tab once & it goes to the address bar, again then it goes to "projectfullcode".
What am I doing wrong? - probably something really stupid! - any ideas?
thanks
harry

I believe the autotab is not the same as setfocus. autotab is simply a way to select the ORDER that fields go through when tabbed. Initially, no field on the page has focus unless you specify it. I don't know if there is a way to set focus without javascript, off-hand. Someone else may know.

I believe the html:form tag has a focus attribute that will let you specify which field should receive initial focus.
