Update inputfields.js so that you can specify #find-fieldName as a URL fragment on pages containing an InputfieldForm and it will locate and highlight the field identified by fieldName. Also update $page->editUrl() function to accept a field name to find in the page editor, which uses the inputfields.js #find-fieldName added in this commit, i.e. $page->editUrl('body');
