"Say, when clicking on a letter in the Mini keyboard, it would first remove the handler triggering the instant correction, add the letter to the field input, and finally add the previously removed handler..."
The onchange event will be triggered before the onclick handler is performed : 1°) user is writing in the input field 2°) user clicks on the mini keyboard 3°) input field lose focus 4°) input field's onchange event is triggered 5°) mini keyboard has focus 6°) mini keyboard's onclick handler is performed In the onchange handler, the document.activeElement is the body element, not the mini keyboard. What should be the solution with the class name check ?
