Patrick,
Try using a label. That way you have the focus on click build-in without
JavaScript in all browsers except for Safari. As a bonus you will
improve accessibility and can get rid of an obtrusive anchor:
<label for="yourname">click to fill out form</label>
<div id="one" class="dropdown">
<label><strong>your name:</strong></label>
<input id="yourname">
</div>
