In Mozilla I tried to set focus on the button using the following code:

The above code does not work.

My observations:

For Mozilla browser:If I add any text field in the above confirmation page and set focus to it then whenever the user press enter key the "Yes" button is clicked. The code is as follows:
Javascript code:

First and foremost, if you have more than one component with same ID it ought to create problems.

The above should work for IE as well as mozilla. You have written the script tag as part of body which is perfectly fine but, it's better to categorise it in functions. Moreover, just try and call the above line of code directly on*load event of body tag and check across browsers. It should work.

The best thing you can always do is view the page source and see what the serverside controls are outputting. Looking at a serverside tag never tells you anything.
