If i've understood the problem, rather than trying to focus on the
table you could create the illusion.. You'd need to get a where the
table is on the page and perhaps apply some styles to the table. If
you cant get the position of the table then an anchor will do.. Just
scroll the window to that.
document.getElementById("mytable").offsetTop
works on firefox and safari.. dont know about ie..
