in reply to javascript perl cgi.pm

I'd suggest renaming your textbox. The hyphen is confusing JavaScript. It thinks you're subtracting name.focus() from window.document.mailform.required, because the hyphen is treated like a minus.

Either change the field name, or do: window.document.mailform.elements['required-name'].focus() (untested)
