Try getting a reference to the 'qqq' hyperlink and using its .focus()
method:
<body onLoad="
(
document.getEle mentById ?
document.getEle mentById( 'qqq' )
: document.all[ 'qqq' ]
).focus();
">

<script type="text/javascript">

function focusOnLink(x) {
x = document.links[x] || document.all[x];
if ( x && x.focus ) x.focus();
}

</script>

<body onload="focusOn Link('qqq');">

<a name="qqq" id="qqq" href="..." ... >...</a>

This fails e.g. if a) document.getEle mentById is for some reason a property,
but not a method (function property), b) if there is no document.all or
c) neither method returns an object that has the focus() method. Therefore
(untested):

var t;
(
document
&& (((t = typeof document.getEle mentById) == 'function'
|| (t == 'object' && document.getEle mentById)))
? document.getEle mentById('qqq')
: (document.all && document.all['qqq'])))
|| {focus: function(){}}
).focus();

I prefer using a wrapper method like dhtml.js:getEle m() and an
`if' statement for this.
