Is it possible that the attribute autofocus work on hyperlink elements (<a>)?

I need to put the "autofocus" attributes on hyperlink elements like this:

<a href="mywebsite.com" autofocus focus="javascript code">my link</a>

It seems that "autofocus" works only on input elements.

But the focus event works on hyperlink elements.

Maybe I need to change something on my hyperlink elements?

Solution

  • According to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_autofocus.asp, the <a> tag cannot have an "autofocus" attribute.

    However, by using jQuery, it is possible:

    <script>
    document.getElementById("myId").focus();
</script>
