Trying to have it so when a link is clicked aside one input, it will hide that link and focus to the input field in the next div. I need to reference it with an event-target for other reasons.
If I change .focus();
to .val('blah');
it works, and other, more typical methods i.e. $('a').click(function() {...
will do the job. Is this just a limitation of using event-target?
Here is a fiddle
Your mousedown event does'nt trigger the handler, you'll need to use click() instead.
