But in this case it's not actually the body that has the focus.
Depending on the browser, it's either the document or the window.
However, there's a convention of using some event handling
attributes on the body for events that are targetted at the Document
or the Window.
Try the following testcase:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Focus on BODY?</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function pr(e, s) {
var out = document.getElementById("out").firstChild;
out.data += e.type + " " + e.target + "\n";
}
</script>
<body onfocus="pr(event)" onblur="pr(event)">
<input type="text">
<iframe src="about:blank"></iframe>
<pre id="out">Results:
</pre>
(Note that there's a good bit of variation between browsers, but in
Opera, Firefox, and Webkit I haven't gotten that testcase to show a
focus or blur event sent to anything other than the document or
window.)
