set focus to element

Does richfaces has a function to set the focus to an element (inputText) when the page is loading, or after an action is called?

I have some questions about that focus attribute:

- how can i set the focus to an element when the page is loaded (so when an h:commandbutton is pressed an the page is refreshed.

- i want to use it with modalpanel, so when i click a button to open to panel and make it visible, i want to set the focus to an element on that modalpanel, but IE gives an javascript error that the focus can't be set.

Try:
<f:view> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body onload="#{rich:element('textInput')}.focus()"> <h:form id="form"> <h:inputText value="" id="textInput"/> </h:form> </body> </html> </f:view>

Use "onshow" handler of modal panel to set focus.

P.S. AJAX components have special "focus" attribute to point to the component you wish to give focus to...

I think it works, but i can't test it due to a bug (i think) in the modalpanel:
see http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=144786

The modalpanel always hides itselfs when i do a ajax action on the modalpanel
