I think so. The event target isn't changed by focus().
But, in Firefox, Safari and Opera, it's possible to change what

the text is inserted into by changing the focus in 'keydown'.
Right; that happens because the keydown and keypress events need not
fire on the same element and because the text entry is the keypress
default action. In Gecko, that is. I can't speak to Safari and
Opera.
WebKit also makes typing take effect as the default action for
"keypress", at least for normal typing. It's more complicated when
international text input methods are in play.
