In DOM L2 only INPUT elements can have focus. They have the focus() method
which makes them receive input. Although this is not part of the spec yet,
I assume that those elements will fire onKeyClick events or something
similar.
What I don't understand is how will DOM L3 handle situation when no INPUT
element has focus.
Note that this might be very useful for implementing "manual" focus
navigation - one could write an app that draws DIVs and hand logical focus
from one to the other. However, the prerequisite is that I can somehow get
keyboard events.
IE 5.0 has an elegan solution - one can give focus to almost any DOM
element. For example, I can focus a DIV and it will fire keyboard events.
Although this is not DOM (yet), I was able to write a DOM-like wrapper for
keyboard events.
Will DOM L3 try to address this issue any time soon?
Sincerely yours
Boris Motik
