I have various divs flowing around in my page where onkeydown event handlers are assigned. Is there any way I can set focus to a div or at least control who has focus when one looses it (blur ?). In my special case i present a list of database results after the user entered some search data. To avoid using the mouse I want the user to be able to select the record by siply hitting the Keybord. How can I move focus form the textox to the table or div ??

I dont think I understood everything, could you post a link to the website? From my point of view you have the answer yourself, Im not an advanced js programmer but i think that if you set those 'onkeydown' events for different keys, you can tell js to set the focus to the div you want, I think it would be something like this:

setfocus(document.myform.yerDiv)
