In your <head> section add the script
<script type="text/javascript">
function setFocus()
{
document.getElementById("txtName").focus()
}
</script>
where "txtName" is the value in the name attribute of your text box.
and in your <body> tag add <body onload="setFocus()">
Hope this helps!
Cheers
Peter

I imagine that you either have a cms or a complex page, so an easier trick is to append a javascript to the very bottom of the page, something like this:
You will need to replace the text 'username' with the actual name of the your username input.
<script type="text/javascript">
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++)
{
if(inputs[i].name =='username')
{
inputs[i].focus();
}
}
</script>
For a very simple working example, just save this below as a html file and load it in your local browser. Notice the location of the script after the body close and before the close of the html tag.
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input name="username" type="text" />
<input name="password" type="text" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++)
{
if(inputs[i].name =='username')
{
inputs[i].focus();
}
}
</script>
</html>
