I'm not convinced you can set focus on a non-input item; that really
wouldn't make any sense.
I believe you'll need to set focus on a user-input control.

well you need a table with the id="mytable"..
And you need to set the rowAdded variable, so in the AddRowAction you
could set a request attribute or pass a parameter..
request.setAttribute("rowAdded","true");
and then in jsp
var rowAdded = "${rowAdded}";
this means the focus will only happen if that action has been
executed.. It works in firefox and safari, and i dont like firing up
my pc as is noisey and i feel dirty doing it.. But i think that
offsetTop will be supported..

Nope, I just loaded that up and it worked for me. Using IE... ah, wait,
technicallly I'm using Maxthon, latest version. No, wait, just tried it
in IE6 (all latest patches, etc) and it worked there too. However, I
noticed I got an alert bar about active content, and I had to enable it
first. Maybe the same thing for you? Maybe you have IE set to completely
block such content and don't even get the warning bar like I do? It does
seem to be working for me though in IE6.

Ooo, that's spooky... I guess it's a general-purpose element handler,
which makes sense, sorta.

Should work on IE too... OP, what was the underying goal? Do you just
want to make sure the added row is on the screen? If so, I think Mark is
on the right track.

will this sort of thing do?
window.onload = function() {
if(rowAdded) {
var table = document.getElementById("mytable");
tableFocus(table);
}
}
function tableFocus(table) {
window.scroll(0,table.offsetTop);
table.style.borderColor = "#f00";
table.style.borderStyle = "solid";
table.style.borderWidth = "1px";
rowAdded = false;
}

If i've understood the problem, rather than trying to focus on the
table you could create the illusion.. You'd need to get a where the
table is on the page and perhaps apply some styles to the table. If
you cant get the position of the table then an anchor will do.. Just
scroll the window to that.
document.getElementById("mytable").offsetTop
works on firefox and safari.. dont know about ie..

Just for curiosity, I tested this code snippet in IE. However, it does
nothing.
Is there anything else that needs to be done.

I think you actually can, at least in IE (I was a bit surprised by this).
Quick test:
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('myCell').focus();">
<table>
<tr>
<td id="myCell" onKeyDown="alert('hello');">My cell</td>
<td id="myCell2" onKeyDown="alert('hello2');">My cell2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>
Note that if you load this in IE and just press Return, the onKeyDown
handler of the first cell fires. Further, click the second cell and click
Return. Again, the handler for *that* cell fires, indicating focus went
to the cell.
This DOES NOT seem to work in Firefox though, at least when I tried it, so
it certainly doesn't seem to be cross-browser. Still, interesting :)

I'd try using a fragment identifier (pointing to <a name....) either
from the link that leads to the page or via JS on load (the first way is
better).
