HTML <select> autofocus Attribute

The autofocus attribute is used to automatically focus on a <select> element when the webpage loads. It helps users interact with the dropdown menu quickly.

• Automatically places the cursor focus on the <select> element when the page opens.
• Improves user experience by reducing extra clicks.
• It is a boolean attribute, so its presence alone enables autofocus.

Syntax:

<select autofocus>
