How to give a textbox focus for keyPress and typeKeys

If I use typeKeys or keyPress with the target being a textbox, then nothing happens if the textbox does not have focus. How do I give focus to the textbox?

E.G. The following should delete a character from my_textbox, but it only works if I manually click on the textbox before running it.

<tr>
  <td>keyPress</td>
  <td>css=#my_textbox</td>
  <td>\8</td>
</tr>

Try to add the command focus just before your keyPress command.
