The focus skin parameter wasn't supported by controls, and winset(usr,null,"focus=...") failed for most controls.

This issue has been resolved.

The web client doesn't seem to be able to use winset() to set the focus on the window. For example, pressing the Enter key in Zen should set the focus to the input bar in order to allow players to type messages in chat. Instead, nothing happens.

Kaiochao	Can confirm. The webclient reference says that the "focus" parameter is currently limited. Does that mean giving focus with winset is just not supported yet?

Lummox JR	winset(usr,null,"focus=[control]") ought to work according to the code, but the focus param isn't quite well defined yet. Can you show me a demo?

Flick	Demo It seems you can use winset(usr,"input1","focus=true") to set the focus in DS, or winset(usr, null, "focus=input1") to set the focus in the webclient, but neither of them works in the other.
