I think you actually can, at least in IE (I was a bit surprised by this).
Quick test:
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('myCell').focus();">
<table>
<tr>
<td id="myCell" onKeyDown="alert('hello');">My cell</td>
<td id="myCell2" onKeyDown="alert('hello2');">My cell2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>
Note that if you load this in IE and just press Return, the onKeyDown
handler of the first cell fires. Further, click the second cell and click
Return. Again, the handler for *that* cell fires, indicating focus went
to the cell.
This DOES NOT seem to work in Firefox though, at least when I tried it, so
it certainly doesn't seem to be cross-browser. Still, interesting :)
