onLoad="this.focus();"

A while ago I was given this syntax for repeated onClick popups to come to 
the front of the screen;

<body onLoad="this.focus();">

Today I find it does not work in FireFox. What's going on please?

You should use window.focus() - there is no document.focus() in the
Gecko DOM.

Note that firefox allows you to disable raising and lowering windows in
the enable javascript -> advanced... tab, and sensible users have that
option checked.

It's not a big issue here but that is noted, along with everything else that 
can be disabled from JavaScript as a whole, to a lack of speakers, to a 
blind member of public.
