HTML - Drop Down Focus

i need to keep an iframe in focus at all times, AND i need this to work in IE 5.5+ and Firefox

if other browsers are included with the same snipplet of code, i'm not going to object!

i've tried the below script which keeps the iframe in focus when clicking on the base html page, but still goes out of focus when a viewer clicks on the flash object.
<script>
document.getElementById('myIframe').focus();
document.getElementById('flashcontent').blur();
</script>

thoughts?

Hi All,

In a javascript function I am getting the selected html content using
document.selection.createRange().htmlText . I am manipulating this and putting it back into the page.
When I did that, the focus on the selected text was removed.

I guess it lost the initial text range. How can I retain the focus?

I have some anchor tags in my user control ...now when i use tab key from key board and navigate to this anchor and press enter it opens a new window and after i am done with this new window (let's say i close it)and again press tab key the focus is moving out to another element in the control but not back to the same anchor.

Instead of key board if i use mouse click and then press tab key the focus is coming back to the same anchor.

How can i set the focus back on to the same anchor while i use key board tab.

I am working on an HTML form that has 4 buttons: Not Me (to signify that the information returned at the top of the form is not correct), then there are additional fields and three more buttons at the bottom of the form: Clear, Cancel and Submit.

I want to place the cursor in the first field, which I can do with javascript (document.getElementById('1').focus()), but when I do the NOT ME button highlights as the button in focus.

If any button has to retain focus, I want it to be the SUBMIT button, not the first button on the page. However, if I control the cursor and insert it into the first field, I can't seem to get control of the button independently. I have tried many things, including assigning ID, tab order, and even creating the buttons with javascript separately, but the browser seems to demand focus on that first button even when I remove the focus from the button before placing the cursor:

window.document.focus
document.getElementById('1').focus()

Is there a separate commend by which I can control the focus of the buttons ?
Is there a way to set focus on two items at the same time (i.e., the correct button and the entry field)?

I am using CSS and feildsets to define a custom look for the forms, but I assume that really doesn't make a difference.

ANY IDEAS?

For some reason when I click on my simple input box, the input box does not accept focus. Has anyone seen this before? I have tried some javascript, but shouldn't need to!

Here is a link to the webpage:

Here is my code:

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="test5.php5">
</br>
<P ALIGN=CENTER>
<INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" VALUE ="Enter a search term" NAME="SearchItem" ID="SearchItem" onfocus="clearDefault(this)" onclick="set_focus()" >
<INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Find">

Thanks in advance,
