focus input before DOM is load

How can I focus an text input when it is visible which is probably before the whole DOM is ready? I only have to possibility to run a script before the DOM started loading. The reason I want to do this is that the user wants to start typing until the input is visible and loading the DOM takes a while.

I would like to do it with jQuery.

Greetings!

try something like this:

 <input id="username" type="text" name="username"/>
 <script>
   $("#username").focus();
 </script>

after declaring DOM in html write your scripts

No need to involve JavaScript. Just use the autofocus attribute.

<input name="foo" autofocus>
