when trying to force the focus onto an element within a page its only useful to do so on one the user can interact with - so some kind of form element (input, textarea etc.) or a link.

 

This should be done in an unobtrusive manner...

 

Give the element you wish to set the focus on an id (remember id's must be unique) like so

 

<input type="text" name="username" id="username" />

 

in the head section of the page place a script tag to an external js file which contains...

 

window.onload = setInitialFocus;

function setInitialFocus ()
{
document.getElementById('username').focus()
}

 

Lovely stuff...
