Hmmm, I guess I have to cut this down and try again to get it
accepted on the WO mailing list.

There's a typo here. Although I'd imagine everyone knows what
Jerry meant, just in case, the name you wish to give the element
should be entered in double quotes, as in "FirstNameField", not
parentheses.

Hi, Jim,
You can add bindings (HTML tag attributes) to any tag on your
page. To do so, open your page in WOBuilder, be sure you're in
Layout view (selected from the three tabs in the upper left
corner of the page) and double click on the WOForm or
WOTextField. This opens the Inspector panel for that WOElement tag.
Notice the square in the far upper right corner of the inspector
panel containing both a "+" and "-". Click on that square to
display a small drop-down menu with the items, "Add binding" and
"Delete binding". One of these might be grayed out.
Click on the "Add binding" and you'll notice that a new binding
is added to the inspection panel for that WOElement. Replace the
string "binding1" with "name" on the left side of the line, then
press tab to complete the field and open the right side of the
line. Fill in the name you want to use for the tag on the right
side, but be careful to enclose it in parentheses. If you don't
do that, then WOBuilder will presume that you're providing a key
for some component in your WOComponent's corresponding class file
and complain that it can't find the corresponding key.
Save your component and you're good to go.

Jim,
In the <body> tag of your document you need to put a little bit
of javascript like so:
<body onLoad="document.NameOfTheForm.NameOfTheField.focus()">
