In Yahoo Fantasy Sports, if you click the "Players" link, you are presented with a list of players. Great, fine, and dandy. But the problem is, in order to search for a player, you have to click the player search box to give it focus. That's an extra mouse move, and really is unnecessary, with this script. This script will work for all of Yahoo's fantasy sports. No need for separate scripts if you play multiple sports.

2007/09/19: Changed the script to focus the search box by using an access key. Press Shift-Alt-S to bring focus to the search box. The reason for this change is if you are focused on the search box, and hit down arrow, you will start scrolling through previous searches. If you want to scroll through the list of players, you have to un-focus the box first, which really defeats the purpose of this script.

Note, this will disable the shortcut key to the Firefox History menu. If you use Shift-Alt-S to access your history, change 'accesskey="s"' to 'accesskey="x"' where x is some character other than s.
