</div> <p>No more than one element in the document or dialog may have the autofocus attribute. If applied to multiple elements the first one will receive focus.</p> <div class="notecard note" id="sect1"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> The <code>autofocus</code> attribute applies to all elements, not just form controls. For example, it might be used on a <a href="contenteditable">contenteditable</a> area.</p> </div>

<h2 id="accessibility_considerations">Accessibility considerations</h2>
<div class="section-content">
<p>Automatically focusing a form control can confuse visually-impaired people using screen-reading technology and people with cognitive impairments. When <code>autofocus</code> is assigned, screen-readers "teleport" their user to the form control without warning them beforehand.</p> <p>Use careful consideration for accessibility when applying the <code>autofocus</code> attribute. Automatically focusing on a control can cause the page to scroll on load. The focus can also cause dynamic keyboards to display on some touch devices. While a screen reader will announce the label of the form control receiving focus, the screen reader will not announce anything before the label, and the sighted user on a small device will equally miss the context created by the preceding content.</p>
