IE focus() anchor without error?

Not even onload!

This works like many other attempts though spawns an error in IE 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0...

document.getElementById('an_element').focus();

How can we give an anchor element focus without IE crying about errors?

window.onload = myFunction
function myFunction() 
{
document.getElementById('an_element').focus();
}

with HTML
<a tabindex="0" id="an_element" href="page.htm" onfocus="alert('focus');">Page</a>

Works for me in IE 6

It's an error with jQuery in IE6... dragging the layer via it's h2 element.

$(document).ready(function() {$('#prompts').Draggable({containment : 'parent', ghosting: true, opacity: 0.5, fx: 300, handle: '#promptsspan', zIndex: 1000,});});
