Many pages like the default Firefox/Google home page grab the caret with an onload event and place it in the first form field. If you are typing an address in the location bar at the time that can be very annoying.
I suggest that pages should not be allowed to grab the caret in this situation.
ie. the javascript focus() call should do nothing.

Can you please give more information on why this would be wanted? That Javascript function is valid, so why should we not allow it?
