Whenever I navigate to the page that my PFC is embedded into, the screen automatically scrolls down to the chat window. This causes problems because we want to have people read the chat room guidelines before joining.
I tried to use the focus_on_connect parameter to fix this, based on a note in version 0.9.1 release notes: "New “focus_on_connect” parameter: Setting this to true will give the focus to the input text box when connecting to the chat. It can be usefull not touch the focus when integrating the chat into an existing website because when the focus is changed, the viewport follows the focus location."
Unfortunately, this approach doesn't seem to be working for me. The chat box still steals the focus whenever people join.

$params["title"] = "PPD/TMS Peer Support Drop-In Chat";
$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000); // setup the initial nickname
$params['firstisadmin'] = true;
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$params["focus_on_connect"] = false;
