Where did you call focus()? The following worked fine for me:

....
function init() {
document.forms[0]["items"].focus();
}
....
<body onload="init()" >
....
<select name="items">

Your attribution line exceeds the recommended maximum of 78 characters
per line. This is not necessary since it contains a lot of superfluid
information that can be retrieved through message headers by those who
are really interested in it.

The sane way is

document.forms[0].elements["items"].focus();
