Focus on web pages on mobile browsers

1
Hello Everyone, and thanks for any help if you are able to do so.

I'm an experience programmer with web development and I've developed code through ASP, ASP.NET, VB.NET VB, ABAP, SQL, etc.

I'm being frustrated in order to set focus on a input text box on mobile browsers.

1) I need functionality where the user hits the enter key, I submit the form. This does not work in PIE. However, setting focus to a field (with the actual cursor in the fiedl) works in PIE, and this is what the users currently run on the handheld devices (Symbol MC 70).

2) In Opera Mobile and one other alternative browser (Access Netfront), I can catch the key code for the enter key being pressed, but I cannot do what I consider the easiest of tasks - set focus to a field. Setting focus to a field does not cause an error, it just puts a 'highlight' box around the field and does not put the cursor inside the actual field. This presents a bigger problem to my users (who expect to scan something in to the field).

So, is there another line of Javascript code necessary to set the actual focus to a field in these other than the actual focus statement, or is this functionality horribly broken in these mobile browsers?
