is there a way to put the focus on a particular field when a form is presented to the user using a LiftScreen ? I didn't find an answer in this list when searching for "FocusOnLoad" or "LiftScreen".
I didn't try it myself, but I guess you could add an attribute to your form field, e.g. a specific class name (like 'focus') or you could set the tabindex to 1 on that field. Then you should be able to identify that field via JavaScript and set the focus.

following the path given by David, I reached my goal with the following code : override def screenTop = recipient.uniqueFieldId.map(id => <span>{Script(OnLoad(Focus(id)))}</span>)
But this seems a bit awkard to me, as I had to add a span, to transform the Node returned by Script into the Elem needed by screenTop. Maybe should screenTop be of type Box[Node], instead of Box[Elem] ?
But I found another way that pleases me better : overwrite the toForm method of my LiftScreen : override def toForm = recipient.uniqueFieldId.map(id => Script(OnLoad(Focus(id)))).toOption ++: super.toForm
