> Was thinking further that maybe it needs to clarify it in the sense of "each input mechanism > available to a user may have its own distinct "focus". Conceptually, does that need to be the case? If I tab around, that's my 'focus'. If I move my mouse, that isn't the focus until it starts interacting with the page (e.g. click), at which point that is my focus regardless of the tabbing, until I press tab again, at which point the browser has to decide where the focus is. To try to draw that out: --------------------- Focus: The point where the user’s input interacts with the web page. For example, tabbing through a page moves the focus. Clicking or tapping on the page would be the focus for mouse and touchscreen usage. Different inputs can be used by a user, but at any one time there would be one point of focus for the user. --------------------- I'm excluding 'hover' as a point of focus, which hopefully makes sense. You could of course try and tab and click things at the same time, but technically only one will be the focus at a time, the content would be switching quickly or ignoring one of them. -Alastair
