By adding the “autofocus” attribute to an input field in an HTML form, that field will automatically stand out when the user accesses the page.

This simplifies the user experience, especially in lengthy forms, saving time and providing convenience.

This functionality is particularly valuable when there is a crucial or common field that developers want users to fill out first.

<form>
  <label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" autofocus><br>
  <label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="lname" name="lname">
</form>

The use of “autofocus” can enhance usability and direct attention to where it is most needed as soon as the page loads.

It is important to use “autofocus” judiciously, ensuring that its implementation does not overwhelm the user with overly highlighted input fields, which could lead to a confusing experience.
