Focus setting?

[HockeyFan]

I've got a <UL> in my page that I'd like to set focus to. Is there a way to do this?

<ul class="abc" id="xyz">
..
</ul>

This <ul> is actually a dynamicly expanding/contracting menu. I'd like to set focus to it, if possible, or else maybe to the div that I have it sitting in. Either way. How do I do it?
I tried the following:
document.xyz.focus();

that didn't work.

Give the element you'd like to set focus to an id.


<div id="theElement"></div>

<script language="javascript">

document.getElementById("theElement").focus();

</script>

Should do it.
