can you set focus to a custom custom element?

[Phl]

hi,

I can use the following code to set focus to standard html elements
but if I try to do the same for a custom element, it seems to complain
that it does not support a focus method. Does anyone know what is the
problem, if there is a work around?

thank you


<SCRIPT language='javas cript'>
document.getEle mentById('" + ctrl.ID + "').focus()
</SCRIPT>

Please explain what you mean by a custom element? In HTML you should
only be using standard HTML elements, but in XHTML I believe that you
may use any XML element provided that you declare an appropriate namespace.
