  Your code worked perfectly if the user had entered the text box by
  *clicking* on it.
  But, if the user has *tabbed* to the text box (and then clicks on
  another element) the focus is returned to the text box that was last
  *clicked* on.
  This can be seen in my example HTML.

  Thank you (or others) for any fine-tuning on this.

Hi,

When a text box has the focus, I would like it to keep the focus even
when another element type (not another text box) is clicked. eg after
clicking this other element type, the user can press a key(s) and the
text box will accept this key input without the user having to click
back into the text box.
Hope this makes sense.

Karl gave me some info. the other day and I was pretty sure I would be
able to fine-tune it for my app. but the best I could come up with
is :

$(document).ready(function()
{
  $(':text').blur(function(event)
  {
  if (!$(event.target).is(':text'))
  { $(this).focus() }
  });

});
