xhtml compliant form field focus

good day, all.

hope i'm not going to get a beasting for posting an xhtml question here - only one way to find out.

having written a beautifully xhtml compliant page - i noticed that i hadn't yet put the form field focus in to make the cursor sit in the first field to be filled in.

duly popped in

Code:

<body OnLoad="document.prodcomlobby.login.focus();">

only to discover that an OnLoad event isn't allowed in XHTML.

Anyone know how i can do this and still stay XHTML street legal ?
