So I'm trying to use some JavaScript to focus an HTML element on the community site. Here is the JavaScript im gunna use:

```auto
HTMLElementObject.focus()

```

I _would_ use "Inspect Element" to find the HTML element on the community site, but I cant because my laptop wont allow me. That is why I have created this topic. Please help!

the stage isn't an html element, but the project player is an iframe. My only question is, how does the focus element work? does it look for element id?
