You can always manually remove the focus by calling
blur()on this field.Or do you need that the field never gets focused?
EDIT:
In order to prevent it’s focus, you can add
$("firstFieldSelector").focus(function(){return false;}. It will prevent the focus when opening the dialog. This seems to work at least on ff and chrome: see http://jsfiddle.net/g9GNn/1/ (it uses the jQueryUI example).
