[Javascript] Setting the focus to form elements

[dev at qroute.net]

I think radio and select and checkboxes fail, their object set does not
msupport the setfocus property.
Tabbing will not halp. Imagine you fill out a form, you click submit,
validation test reports country field left blank, if would be nice to set
the focus to country by scrolling there autmatically. It's more
user-friendly than telling user to find where the country is.
