Here's a funky solution that might work cross-browser because it's so low-tech:

         <input id="WhereYouWantFocus" ...>
         <p>caption</p>
         <a id="SendFocusHereFirst"></a>

         function FocusOnInput()
         {
                 document.getElementById("SendFocusHereFirst").focus();
                 document.getElementById("WhereYouWantFocus").focus();
         }

One advantage would be that you wouldn't need to know how many pixels south 
of your input field you need to scroll the screen; the browser rendering 
will manage that automatically, regardless of how the user sizes text.
