Eeek, I had forgotten about that.

Try the following:

$AuthPromptFmt = array(&$PageStartFmt, 'page:$SiteGroup.AuthForm',
  "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'><!--
    try { document.authform.author.focus(); }
    catch(e) { document.authform.authpw.focus(); } //--></script>",
  &$PageEndFmt);

I might see if I can find a generic javascript snippet that will
always focus the first field in the form (instead of an explicitly
named field as it does now).
