Cursor location when opening an xpage

When opening the xpage below, I would like to control the default location of the cursor. I want to position the cursor in the "Enter Account #" search box, so the user can just start typing. Tab Index does not seem to do anything. Users must first move the mouse to the text box and click before typing. Suggestions?

In the XPages onClientLoad event in the CLIENT SIDE java script editor add the following code

var ipt = dojo.byId("#{id:inputText1}");
ipt.focus();

where InputText1 is the name of the field to focus on.
