I've just finished (unscientifically) testing IE6 and the keyboard focus bug and here is what I determined: Using the keyboard IE6 will focus to the closest div or span element that is the parent of a target - either an element with an id, or a named anchor - where the div or span 'hasLayout' property is set to true. The div or span may itself contain the id being targeted. It appears that div and span are the only elements that receive focus via this method. Authors can set 'hasLayout' to true a number of ways (see MS's documentation [1]). The most common method, used by CSS authors to clear floats, is to set the element height at 1%, or by setting the width to any value as already noted.
