One thing I just thought of: you probably need to give the target
focus because it won't ordinarily get that onHover and the keydown
event might not be caught unless it has focus, first.
target.focus();
Add this to your page to ensure that, at least, is working:
$('.position_info').focus(function(e){ var target = $(e.target);
target.css('background', 'yellow'); });
