If I move my mouse, that isn't the focus until it starts interacting with the page (e.g. click) Ah ok, so this takes the view that while I'm moving the mouse, "focus" is still wherever it was. Only once I click does the browser, in immediate succession, shift focus to the thing I clicked and then activates it. I can probably live with that. To clarify, I was more thinking about focus as "the place where the user's regard is, where when they decide to explicitly 'activate', the activation will take place". for keyboard, it's where the visible focus indicator is. for mouse, it would be whatever the mouse pointer is currently pointing at (hovering over). > 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. (while probably too detailed for this discussion here, note that - depending on hardware - some devices allow simultaneous use of, say, mouse and touchscreen, or touchscreen and stylus, at which point you have two or more distinct points of interaction) P -- Patrick H.
