[thelist] Window targeting problem

Jeff,

	Okay, another sign of sloppiness on my part, since I didn't really
say what I meant. In the case of enclosing it in a js1.1 script block, I
wouldn't put it inside of a function; I'd do it like this, instead:

<script language="javascript 1.1" type="text/javascript">
  <!--
    self.focus() ;
  // -->
</script>

	I agree that it's generally wise to check for method or object
support when in doubt, although I think either approach will suffice in this
case. But if I'm missing something, please let me know. Thanks.
