Automatically setting cursor on a text form field

Is it possible to automatically set the cursor in a text form field so that the user can start typing without first clicking on the text field (or pressing tab)

I assume with Javascript / JQuery it might be possible?

You can just add autofocus attribute :

<input type="text" autofocus />

Yes it is

IN jQuery:

$('#YOUR_ELEMENT_ID').focus();

IN JAVASCRIPT:

document.getElementById('YOUR_ELEMENT_ID').focus();
