Cursor focus on user login page

I agree with #1 but can't reproduce #2. I think we should alter our default themes to incorporate this change.

Isn't this a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/29060 ?

#2 is a duplicate of that issue and has been fixed. But #1 is still happening. My default drupal beta-2 site doesn't put the cursor on the login textbox when I go to it.

Perhaps we should triage this to the Drupal project?

Features go in 7.x

Thank you, I'll make note of that.

Setting the cursor focus on the login page sounds like a decent idea to me.

Still a valid issue. I don't like having to tab or click every time I go to login and can imagine others feel the same way.

#1174936: Allow FAPI usage of the autofocus attribute was won't fixed, so this would need to be added via #attributes.

Autofocus is HTML5 only, but that's not a problem for D8.

#8: drupal-20446-8.patch queued for re-testing.

I approve this patch to this 7yo usability issue. Thank you dead_arm for joining core office hours!

Nice! Committed/pushed to 8.x.

Discussion in IRC webchick said, "The biggest reason not to backport that is, I imagine it breaks XHTML validation." So we won't backport to D7.

I was looking at autocomplete for #2096347: Add "autofocus" attribute to the module search and we're not being consistent about how we use autocomplete in Drupal 8 and we have no means to identify when it is appropriate to do so.

Right now it's used in most user forms, but not /user/register

Users should be able to predict when user forms will be presented. They need to have sufficient context such that screen reader users aren't confused by them.

Anyone know the status of this task?

Well it works for /user/login but doesn't for /user/register

Moving to the right issue queue.

tagging, just gathering issues which requested autofocus

tCurrent status:

user/login - has autofocus, works
user/password - has autofocus, works
user/register - does not have autofocus.

We have #2861374: Inconsistent user interface with focusing fields to discuss this inconsistency, and it has more detail. So I'm closing his as a duplicate.
