I was surprised to find out that KeyTable does not set focus to its selected cell. In other words: document.activeElement is not the selected <td>. In my case the active element is set to the <body> of the page when I select a cell.
Is there a reason why it is this way?
I'm asking because I want to attach keydown handlers to selected cells for keys that are also handled by KeyTable itself. The keys event is not triggered in this case.

Dumb question: you can't set the focus on a
<td>or even<tr>element. Doh!UNLESS
Apparently it's possible to focus cells if they have a
tabindexattribute. Now I just need to figure out how to put it all together...
