Is this only for IE? According to the W3C DOM HTML specification, the
only elements that have a focus method are: select, input, textarea
and anchor. IE may allow you to focus other elements, but I would not
count on it being consistent or supported in other browsers.

The tabindex attribute is not valid for a span element, it is only
valid for: a, area, button, input, object, select and textarea
elements.

You are setting a DOM property that is case sensitive, try:
test.tabIndex = '0';
It seems to be a good idea to use language features where they are
faster, more reliable and require less typing - set properties
directly. It may also lead to less confusion.
