This would be great. My only caution would be not to break the user's TAB key: When the focus of a field
changes automatically, I sometimes skip the field by tabbing to the next field.

1. On the login page: make sure you're not blowing away autofilled login/password
   (esp on OS X with Keychain capable browsers). On the login page,the 'name' field is
   first in the tab-loop anyway - tabindex="1".
2. setting the focus on other pages/panes is imho a bad idea. If you really have the
   urge to go that way, make it user configurable.

1. How would one blow away any info in the boxes by adding a jQuery .focus() call?
   Sorry, I don't follow. Tabbing through boxes doesn't delete info in boxes... or does
   it do that on OSX?
2. No intention of doing it anywhere else. Not even sure it's a good idea on the
   login page, it was just an idea. Since almost nobody's commented I guess almost
   nobody cares, so we might as well leave it as it is. It was only triggered by the
   fact I'd used Basecamp recently and found it pleasing to be presented with the cursor
   already flashing in the username box instead of me having to tab to it.

a) can't be arsed
b) few people seem to care

(not necessarily in that order)
