Instead of using
document.formname.elementname.focus();
use this instead
document.getElementById("elementname").focus();


It will sure work in all the browsers. Just because the name attribute sometimes creates problems,or you may have forget to give id or name or both attribute to(any/all) the elements in your page.

Try it once,hope it will hepl you.

Happy Coding...
:)
