You could use javascript:

<html><body><h1>heisan</h1>
<form name="sample" method=post action="/cgi-bin/statistikk2">
Navn: <input type=text name=navn><br>
Alder: <input type=text name=alder><br>
</form></body></html>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!-- test
document.sample.alder.focus();
// test -->
</SCRIPT>                     

Where sample is the name attribute in the form tag and alder is the name of
the input tag. The script must come after the form.
