Jump to Postis not exactly like that, more like:
<a href="" onfocus="some_function">link1</a>
the only problem with this is that onfocus occurs when onclick(when you click) occurs, you usualy use onfocus when you are using <input type=text> or something similarNo..., its exactly like that.
Inline scripts are, 'a bad coding practice' everybody …

there is a event called onfocus.... add that to the links and a function that tells you what was focused...

someLink.onfocus=doYourThingWhere "doYourThing" is the function you want to invoke when that paricular link has recieved focus.

Inline scripts are, 'a bad coding practice' everybody agrees upon. Me to.
The onfocus event gets fired when element receives focus. That's all you need to know. And there are many ways to send focus to element. You can even do it by script.
ie someLink.focus() will suffice.
Link focus is implemented for accessibility reasons and especially for keyboard navigation ability.
