Disabling auto focus Tapestry 3

[Madhavan Thirumalai <ma...@letsgaggle.com>]

Howard and other have discussed this issue in the archives and it is being
addressed in Tapestry 4. But I need a solution in Tapestry 3. Here is the
quote from the archives.

This is the situation I am facing. I absolutely need my page to scroll to
the top. I tried the hack of inserting Javascript - window.scrollTo() at the
very bottom of the page and the following code was generated. 
window.onload = function ()
{
document.Form10.SearchEarliestTime.focus();
document.Form10.SearchEarliestTime.select();
    window.scrollTo(0,0);
}
This works in Firefox but not to work consistently in IE. It also disgusts
me.

Is there a non hacky way to do this? The cleanest would be if I could
supress the calls to focus() and select() altogether.

Thanks,
Madhavan

Have you tried calling:
      
cycle.setAttribute("org.apache.tapestry.component.html.valid.SelectedFieldSet", 
  Boolean.TRUE);

in pageBeginRender()?
