      <td colspan="2"><p>Although listed here as a widely shared property, that isn't strictly
          the case across all implementations. Netscape 6 (per the W3C DOM) recognizes
          this property only for the following elements: <span class="literal">a</span>, <span class="literal">area</span>, <span class="literal">button</span>, <span class="literal">input</span>, <span class="literal">label</span>, <span class="literal">legend</span>,
          and <span class="literal">textarea</span>. To this list, IE 4 adds <span class="literal">applet</span>, <span class="literal">body</span>, <span class="literal">div</span>, <span class="literal">embed</span>, <span class="literal">isindex</span>, <span class="literal">marquee</span>, <span class="literal">object</span>, <span class="literal">select</span>, <span class="literal">span</span>, <span class="literal">table</span>,
          and <span class="literal">td</span> (but removes <span class="literal">label</span> and <span class="literal">legend</span>).
          IE 5 adds every other renderable element, but with a caution. Except for <span class="literal">input</span> and other form-related elements,
          you must also assign a <span class="literal">tabindex</span> attribute or <span class="literal">tabIndex</span> property value to the IE 5
          and later element (even if it's simply a value of zero for all) to let the accelerator key combination bring focus to the element. As
          of Version 7, Netscape does not alter UI behavior if a script changes the property's value.

          Assigning the attribute <span class="literal">onfocus="this.blur( );"</span> to
