like this
<%= params[:path].singularize %>
add this in between your rhtml tag
<script type="text/javascript">
function setfocus(field_to_focus) {
$(field_to_focus).focus()
}
</script>
Add the above script after you have included your prototype.js file
Then use this in your body tag
<body onload="setfocus('your_field');">
where your_field is the id of the field where you want your cursor to
focus on page load
<input name="customer" id="your_field" />
Hope this helps
a correction on the first line for the above post
add this in your rhtml file or in between your layout's head tag i.e.
<head></head>
