Set keyboard focus to Applet when it is loaded

hi,

I have an applet with a JTextArea and I would like the keyboard focus
to be in that JTextArea as soon as the applet is loaded (so that
the user can immediately start typing).

Currently I do two things (with no success):

1. use javascript to set the focus on the <applet> element:
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('kbapplet').focus()">
....
<applet id="kbapplet" code=".."></applet>

2. call requestFocus() and textarea.requestFocusInWindow()
in the init() method (as well as in windowOpened-handler etc).

thanks in advance!
