It is because it's a frame :)
You can grab a handle to the frame in javascript, and then manipulate
elements of the document that way so long as both pages come from the
same domain. However, I think it would be better to create a function
on the page in the frame that focuses for you, and call it from the
top page via the frame handle. Which you choose really depends on
your style and whether you need to worry about cross browser issues,
etc.
Be advised that getting an iframe via the DOM (getElementById) and the
browser's object (document.frames) gives you different objects.
Here's a quick example for you using the frames collection (not sure
if it'll work, haven't tested):
document.frames("myframe").document.forms("myform").elements("myinput").focus()
