Or the code needs improvement? The behavior depends on browser. On Chrome and Safari, the cursor appears inside the element, in the clicked location, and you can type there right away. On Firefox, the cursor does not appear and the element takes no normal keyboard input, but Ctrl V pastes the clipboard content in the clicked position. On IE and Opera, even Ctrl V does not work before you click again. (All tested on Win 7.) On the browsers tested, the element does not appear as focused in the sense of matching the :focus selector in CSS before it is clicked on another time. Confusing, isn't it? It is somewhat obscure what *should* happen. Anyway, the behavior becomes more consistent if you append the invocation this.focus() at the end of the onclick event handler. Then the element becomes focused, the cursor appears, and the element receives immediate keyboard input. One problem remains: on Opera, the cursor appears at the start of the element content, not in the clicked location, so you need to click again in order to insert text somewhere else. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
