Hello! I've been noticing a problem in many HTML5 test apps, very especially games. When the directional arrow buttons are pressed, the screen scrolls. This is a problem that, as far as I know, Flash had solved by changing the focus of the application to the app. Is this doable in HTML5?<BR>

I don't think it's something that was 'solved' by Flash. To be honest, I'm often annoyed at the way Flash steals the focus of all my key presses making it almost impossible to navigate using only the keyboard.<BR>

You could use Javascript to put the focus onto an object, capture all the key presses on that and return false for them all maybe.<BR>
