focus() doesn't take cursor into field

focusout, jquery

Solution

This happens because the blur has not yet completed. Do it with a small timeout and it would work:

$('input:first-child').blur(function(e){
    setTimeout(function () { $('input:first-child').focus(); }, 20);
});

Problem

I'm trying to force the cursor to go back to its previous input when the value is wrong. Here is a simpler version of the script I use : ``` $('input:first-child').blur(function(e){ console.log('here'); $('input:first-child').focus(); }); ``` It works when I click on another element to focusout but does not when I click on the body or another div element. Why? ​ I have a jsfiddle case : http://jsfiddle.net/leyou/Zabn4/37/ Edit: I was testing on Chrome/Win7, but with Firefox it seems worse. It's totally ignoring focus()
