Jamie,
Shouldn't it be possible for you to use the blur() method to force focus
off of that text box? Like this:
<input type="text" onFocus="this.blur();">
to take focus off of that field, or
<input type="text" onFocus="document.forms[0].someotherelement.focus()">
to focus on another element, which would actually be rather confusing for
the user.
If that doesn't work, you might be able to do something like this:
<script>var myval;</script>
<input type="text" onFocus="myval=this.value;" onBlur="this.value=myval;">
to replace the value in the field with its previous value.

Subject: (OT) making fields readonly with JavaScript
Hi all, and I apologise for being off-topic, but this is driving me nuts!
Is there a way to "disable" text field via JavaScript? I know of the
READONLY attribute, and the client likes how that works, but in my research
I was not able to come up with a way to access that attribute through JS.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jamie
