Just a quickie, is it possible to write some javascript (in a simple <script> ... </script>) that changes the browser's focus to a certain id?

hi, if you open a popup through a link can you set the focus to the link rather than have the browser jump to the top of the page this happens with

<a href="" onclick="openpop(features)"></a>
or"#"

Yeah, I know that much, just wanted to know how to make it automatic without having to add to the <body> tag.
