Re: Where should focus be on page load?

I would like to add another item to this well-compiled list.

When adding items to the shopping cart on a popular supermarket site, on selecting the quantity for an item and clicking the Add button, the page refreshes and focus moves to the top of the page. Here the focus should ideally move to the item following the one that has already been added. If an item is added without altering the quantity, then the focus moves to the next item as expected. On supermarket sites where shoppers are likely to add dozens of items, testing the focus behaviour is very critical.
