Would a custom component help with that? Something like this:
<foo:focus element="form1:firstName" /> (for a specific element)
or
<foo:focus /> (to grab the element on the page with the lowest tab index)
This might be nice too:
<h:inputText><foo:focus/></h:inputText> (with the last one winning, if the
page author has several for some reason)
That wouldn't be too hard to cobble together, I wouldn't think. If that
doesn't sound too dumb, I'd be happy to give that a whirl (API suggestions,
are, or course, highly desired :).
