I have this sample code:
$myTrigger
.click(function(e){
alert('click');
})
.focus(function(e){
alert('focus');
$(this).click()
})
The intent is that I want something to happen when you click on $myTrigger. If, on the other hand, you tab onto it via the keyboard (ie, focus) I want the exact same thing to happen, so I ask it to click.
The catch is if I click on it, it also focuses. So both alerts are going off.
Is there a way to prevent the focus event from going off when clicking?
