To which I should add:

Sometimes you will be lucky and returning to the browser,
after focussing elsewhere, you will find the flashing cursor
is still in the same input.
That is not thanks to setfocus. The same would happen if you
returned to the browser using Windows TaskBar or a PP active
button or any other method such as recording the parent handle and
using window.show(parenthandle).

On other occasions, when you return to the browser, the cursor is
no longer where you left it. For those pages, it makes no
difference whether you saved the child handle or the parent handle
or getfocus/setfocus; none of them can work.

The difference between being able / not able to return to the
same input in a web page, with the cursor flashing in the same
place, does not depend on which PP routine is used.
It probably depends on the type of code in the webpage,
such as html or php or java script.

The only thing which works for sure is something which requires
intervention by a human user: press a hotkey before clicking
away from the browser application, such as on a PowerPro bar.
The hotkey should save xcursor ycursor (if we are trying to
restore focus to an input). Restoring requires a simulated
mouse move and left click.
