How to set focus to an element through javascript parameter

Below is a function that I have been trying to call to set focus on a text box, but it is not doing so. I would be thankful if anyone can tell me how to do this.

Thanks in advance :)

address1 is the id of the text box.

function address_validation(address1)
{
        document.getElementById("address1").focus();
    return false;
}

You are using "address1" than address1. Your are supposing to get element by using dynamic id address1 but you have used static one "address1".

  function address_validation(address1){
      document.getElementById(address1).focus();
      return false;
  }
