I am clicking to set focus on a textbox, and once I have set focus I am trying to display a simple message. Then on blur that message disappears.
Here is my code: If I click on the textbox it displays the message but if I click the button it doesn't set focus as I thought it would.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#clicker").click(function(){
$("#T1").focus(function(){
$("#myFocus").show();
});
});
$("#T1").blur(function(){
$("#myFocus").hide();
});
});
</script>
<body>
<div id="clicker" style="cursor:pointer; border:1px solid black; width:70px;">
Click here!
</div>
<br /><br />
<input id="T1" name="Textbox" type="text" />
<div id="myFocus" style="display: none;">focused!</div>

Reset to default 4You need to trigger the focus event, instead of defining it. Try this instead:
<script>
$(function() { // Shorthand for $(document).ready(function() {
$('#clicker').click(function() {
$('#T1').focus(); // Trigger focus
});
$('#T1').focus(function() { // Define focus handler
$('#myFocus').show();
}).blur(function() {
$('#myFocus').hide();
});
});
</script>
The problem is here:
$("#T1").focus(function(){
$("#myFocus").show();
});
You should trigger the event with focus() not attach a callback with focus(function(){...}
Fixed code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#clicker").click(function(){
$('#T1').focus();
});
$("#T1").blur(function(){
$("#myFocus").hide();
}) .focus(funcion(){
$("#myFocus").show();
});
});
