Page coming into focus event

I've asked this before, and last time the answer was "not possible".
Maybe some more clever people are hanging around this time:

Is there a way to trigger a routine when a page gets the "focus"? I'm
thinking of when you switch to a page in a tabbed browser.

Don't ask me what I'm going to do in such an event. It is no more
interesting than knowing what I plan to do when I leave my house. (Put
the milk bottles out)

My first thought turned to mousemove events. Not sure if you get them
when your window doesn't have focus. Not forgetting of course that the
window can still be visible even if it doesn't have current focus.

visible != focus

so ... no importance

window.onfocus = function() { alert('focus'); };
</script>

or :
<body onfocus="alert('focus');">

Very funny with my Opera :-(

In the Opera Community forums I was pointed at window.onfocus which is
just what I was looking for.

The fact that I can't make it do what I want it to is my problem. I
think there are conditions when the event triggers before the page has
loaded, so attempting to manipulate controls which are not yet present
fails.
