Read Damon Muma on this. He proposes the following jQuery solution (inspired by Thompson, fixed by me):
// Apply focus properly when accessing internal links with keyboard in WebKit browsers.
$("a[href^='#']").not("a[href='#']").click(function() {
$("#"+$(this).attr("href").slice(1)+"").focus();
});
I don’t like to use jQuery however, and have been trying to port it to plain Javascript.

Hi! Would it be possible to extend this method so that links followed from the longdesc attribute or the cite attribute would also change focus? For a Webkit browser that allows you to open @longdesc URLs and @cite URLs, see iCab. http://www.icab.de Longdesc attribute URLs and cite attribute URL are, in iCab, opened via a contextual menu. I have a test page here: http://malform.no/testing/a-demo-of/longdesc-with-hidden-iframe/
