[thelist] setting focus in a Frameset / Javascript

The window object has a focus() method.  So, you should be able to call
main.focus().  Not sure when or where it'd be best to call it.  Perhaps in
palette.htm's BODY's onLoad event.

Hi Everyone,

I have a two row frameset:
<frameset rows="*,19">
  <frame src="palette.htm" name="main">
  <frame src="control.htm" name="outtie">
</frameset>

When the frameset loads, I need the focus() to be on "main" because there is
an onkeypress behavior attached to it. Currently the keypress behavior
doesn't work until AFTER I've clicked in that frame - which is bad. How is
this done AND in which file should the function be placed?
