Can I safely assume that, if an element is clicked, then it obtains the focus? Alternatively, I can set the focus with something like this:
$('#my-button').bind('click', function() { $(this).trigger('focus'); });
I have created a form with malsup's Form Plugin wherein it submits on change of the inputs. I have set up my jQuery script to index drop down menus and visible inputs, and uses that index to determine whether keydown of tab should move focus to the next element or the first element, and likewise with shift+tab keydown. However, instead of moving focus to the first element from the last element on tab keydown like I would like it to, it moves focus to the second element. How can I change it to cycle focus to the actual first and last elements? Here is a live link to my form: [URL]. Here is my script:
$(document).ready(function() { var options = { target: '#c_main', success: setFocus
I have an input box with an id. I also have a jquery hotkey plugin which fires when I press F8 in this case. $(document).bind('keydown', 'f8', function (){ //do stuff here return false;}); The hotkey works just fine. (ive tested with alert boxes). What I am trying to do is find the cursor location (and then the elements id) when the f8 key is pressed. or... I want to find which input has focus on keydown.
Is it possible to extend jquery to include a function that will select elements with focus. In the same way :input selects all inputs :selected selects all selected etc but instead :focus or focused: which would select the focused element. I have a table which includes an input field on each row (like a simple datagrid). Id like to be able to hit an access key and delete the row (input textbox) which has focus ie the row which the cursor has been placed in.
I found this but it selects the first input textbox only for some reason?... and not the one with focus. $.extend($.expr[':'], { focused: function(elem) { return elem.hasFocus; } }); var id = $('input :focused').val(); console.log(id);
I want to handle focus and blur events on any DIV element but don't know how? I tried this one: $('.myDIV').bind('focus',function(event){ // something }); But it doesn't work!
I`m trying to make selecting an select list option (as it become when we click on it)by clicking on a special pseudo element.I`m trying to do it in this way:

My image upload form has a choice of either upload image by entering url or by browsing for a file, I'm trying to empty the file-input input if you focus on the url-input. I've tried bother these events on click/blur but neither seem to work like they would for a checkbox or text input. [code]...
I recently wrote some code, which involves a list. Elements can be picked by up/down arrow keys.To highlight the elements, I'm using a similar call to objects[focus]stop (true,true).animate({'opacity': 1}, 200);(As you can see, all DOM elements are cached)the same call goes to the element which lost the focus, with an opacity value of 0.2.Whatsoever, I noticed on testing that the performance is just fine on firefox 2/3, IE 7/8, even Safari has good results.Only exception so far is Chrome, it's terribly slow on those calls with a CPU load of 40-50%.I didn't further investigate that behavior since it still works "OK" on Chrome, but SIGNIFICANT slower.
I'm trying to make the cursor focus on a certain input element when someone hits a certain key combo (such as Shift+S). Does anyone know how you attach a listener like that and bind it to a key combo?
I am working on a firefox extension. The job is to sit in the status bar and as I type into any form on any webpage, listen for keyboard events, then modify the key pressed by mapping it to some foreign unicode character and then sending it to the form in focus.
As I see it, there are two ways I can achieve it.
1) Capture the event, modify it and then send it and not be concerned with the form in focus.
2) Capture the event, prevent default action., find a unicode mapping for the key pressed, find the form in focus and based on the type of form, call a method to explicitly insert the mapped character at the cursor position.
Right now I am not able to find a way to do either. Once I get the focused element, I can do something to it. But I am not yet able to get that. I even tried document.activeElement, but it doesnt seem to work in firefox.
When using lists (UL, OL), if you click on the bullet of a list item, that item becomes selected. Is there a way to prevent this or divert the focus elsewhere. Code:

I have this page below which I run locally that is created dynamically: [URL]
I need a piece of javascript to focus on the captcha as shown in the image inside the green box. At this minute I have this which doesn't work all that great for some reason but it gets it to the general area...
As I said this does the job to some extent however it does not leave the focus in a perfect position so that the captcha is readable and the text box visible to type in, as illustrated in the red box in the above image.
I have an input element on a form. When I open a popup form and then close it, I try to put the focus back on my input element by using the focus() method. However, that fails and it doesn't get focus.When I press tab to get out of this input element, it takes several tries for it to get the tab event (since it wasn't focused, but how come it suddenly gets focus to respond later?)
I am trying to implement something like a javascript that can click and focus the Status Update Box on Facebook. Till now, I have nothing in hand that can perform the task so I thought about a javascript that can do it. I am not even a newbie to javascript but I know that it can perform various complicated tasks on client side. Can anyone here tell me how do I click the Status Update box and set it to focused by a javascript so that when I start typing the Status box receive the text ?
This code works fine in Firefox and Opera, I can see that it put focus on the correct input in IE, but by the time the page has loaded completely it loses focus.
The first time you enter the page it works fine in IE too, but if you click a link which gives the input a value after reloading the page the above happens. Code:
