Fill in the form, and press Tab to move from box to box. See the textarea at the bottom for instructions:
This is the script we used. In the HEAD...
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
var s1 = "Type your last name here."
var s2 = "Type your street address."
var s3 = "Your city name, please."
var s4 = "Yes, yes, you know--state, province, etc."
var s5 = "Okay, zip or postal code."
var s6 = "Yep, now your country."
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Then this form:
<![CDATA[
<FORM>
First Name: <input type="text" size="30"><BR>
Last Name: <input type="text" size="30" onfocus="elements[7].value = s1 "><BR>

<B>See the instructions here:</B><BR>
<TEXTAREA COLS="40" ROWS="2">Type your first name in the text box.</TEXTAREA>
</FORM>
]]>
Also, at the bottom of the form we moved focus to the first text box with this:
<![CDATA[

document.forms[0].elements[0].focus()
