Re: Before or after the form?

First:
Just to understand the context: I can only think of two possible FAQs in
log-in forms which are about:
1. How can I creat a new account?
2. How can I get my forgotten password again?
If there are no more FAQs, I wouldn't interlace them in a FAQ-Link. Just two
links AFTER the form ("Get Account" and "Password forgotten?") would
probably fit for UX.
Second:
In a PURE log-in page, the autofocus-attribute might be functionally
permitted.
Whereever autofocus is used, relevant infos and features concerning the form
should be after the form, so that screen reader users encounter them by
common downwards prooceding.

Betreff: [WebAIM] Before or after the form?

On a login page, is it normally better to put the auxiliary links
(contact, FAQ) before or after the login form?
Thanks
