As long as this was only the case for *login.bml* specifically, I'd be fine with that. Sometimes, site behavior that assumes you want to have your cursor in a specific textfield box right away is bad/wrong/evil/stupid. (why no, Twitter, I'm not talking about you at all, where I'm trying to press the spacebar or the down cursor to scroll down my friendspage there, and you automatically assume that I must be there to make an update and stick the cursor in the damned update box ...)

I hear you on the Twitter. Dude. I do that at least once a day.

Not the home page, just login.bml?

It doesn't already? ...*checks* Ooh you're right! ;)

I think this (on both regular & https page) should definitely be implemented. It's one of those things I imagine is already the case.

Tangentially... In the same way, on the http://www.livejournal.com/ page, when logged out, the cursor should appear in the login username field. Likewise, when logged in, and on the home page, the cursor should be placed in the multisearch box (with the 'Find' text still there).
