Cursor focus in search iView

Question

Hello together
We integrated the KM search iView in an own navigation element. We are not using the ToolArea search.
When we click on this Search navigation element the search iView is shown but the search field doesn't have the focus for the cursor. For searching we need every time a mouse click moore to put the cursor into the search field.
Can this somewhere be activated, that the search iView field has automatically the focus?
In normal HTML pages this can be done with JavaScript like this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
  <!--
  document.search.fieldname.focus();
  -->
</script>
How did you solve this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks for answers.
Regards,
Stefan

We have implemented SP20 a couple of month ago but this issue has not been resolved yet.
In fact, when the search iView is shown, it seems like the Search field is getting the focus but somewhat loosing it after a fraction of a second. Now the user may type into the text box but if he uses the Space bar it submits the form.
In other words, if the user does not explicitly set the focus to the text box, the "Space" acts like "Enter" and submits the form.
Any idea?
