Try this instead:
alert("e.target: " + e.target + " e.currentTarget: " + e.currentTarget + "  
type: " + e.type);

The left use element listens to the 'focus' event. The 'focus' event is  
legacy from HTML, partially described here[1]. It doesn't bubble.
The middle use element listens to the 'DOMFocusIn' event[2][3].  
'DOMFocusIn' bubbles.
The right use element doesn't listen to events, but is focusable.

Hope this helps
