HTML5: How to specify that a button should automatically get focus when the page load?
Solution:
HTML Code:
Explanation:
- This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
- Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
- The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
- The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
- Within the body section, there's a <button> element created with the type attribute set to "button".
- The autofocus attribute of the button element specifies that the button should automatically receive focus when the page loads.
- The onclick attribute of the button element specifies a JavaScript code snippet (console.log('Welcome Friends')) to be executed when the button is clicked.
- When the button is clicked, the specified JavaScript code will log the message "Welcome Friends" to the browser console.
- The button displays the text "Click Me!" as its label.
- The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
