This seems to work in FF3.5 and IE6:
$("#trade").focus(function() {
this.blur();
window.focus();
});
IE6 doesn't support blur on select, so the window.focus() seems to
make it work. Haven't tried other browsers.
Another option is to just disable the field, but that'll prevent the
value from being submitting with the form. Otherwise, you'd have to
store the value somewhere else (e.g. hidden field) before submitting.
