Well you at least have your form and js set up right now. And after going back and re-reading your post I see this is ajax. IIRC in-line javascript in ajax content doesn't automatically fire. Most likely this is a security thing. So that gives you two options (at least).
1. Wrap your JS code at the bottom of the page in a function and execute the function when the ajax call completes. 2. Add your focus setting code into a callback function on the ajax call. Either one will work, it's just a matter of whether or not your caller will be aware of the form and fieldname you want to focus on. HTH.
