Nope. The functions in Form.Methods are mixed into
HTMLFormElement.prototype, where possible, otherwise they are added to
each form accessed through $('myform'). Therefore
$('myform').focusFirstElement()
does indeed work. That it didn't work for me originally was due to some
braindeadness on my part. Let's say when 'myform' is really the id of a
form element, then it does work at least in Firefox, Konqueror, and
IE7.
