try this

<input id="foo" type="text"/>
<script>
setInterval(function () {
document.getElementById('foo').focus();
},1);
</script>

phh :), I found something very interesting when testing your IE

to capture what the user is typing in the address bar. That would be
neat... I am just checking your code to see what the hell is going on.
