To position the cursor at the end of the contents of a TextBox control, call the Select method and specify the selection start position equal to the length of the text content, and a selection length of 0.
To move the cursor to the beginning of an input field: Use the setSelectionRange() method to move the cursor to the beginning of the input field. Call the focus() method on the input element. The focus method will move the cursor to the beginning of the element's value.
To set focus to an HTML form element, the focus() method of JavaScript can be used. To do so, call this method on an object of the element that is to be focused, as shown in the example. Example 1: The focus() method is set to the input tag when user clicks on Focus button.
Ya its possible to do without support of javascript..
We can use html5 auto focus attribute
For Example:
<input type="text" name="name" autofocus="autofocus" id="xax" />
If use it (autofocus="autofocus") in text field means that text field get focused when page gets loaded..

Just add autofocus in first input or textarea.
<input type="text" name="name" id="xax" autofocus="autofocus" />
This will work:
OnLoad="document.myform.mytextfield.focus();"
<body onLoad="self.focus();document.formname.name.focus()" >
formname is <form action="xxx.php" method="POST" name="formname" >
and name is <input type="text" tabindex="1" name="name" />
it works for me, checked using IE and mozilla.
autofocus, somehow didn't work for me.
