Not sure if this belongs in accessiblity, but...

If you have an anchor with an empty href, you can't focus it, even if you want
Javascript to do something on that anchor.

I assume you are using the tab key to try to focus it?

Stange. It doesn't work on Firefox 1.0. Oh well. Should have tested the latest
build.

Sorry about that.

might have been fixed by bug 261707, although that seems to have been a
trunk-only regression...
