focus/blur events no longer work with jquery created inputs

[fracmak]

when you create an input using jquery: ex $("<input/>") and attach a focus or blur event to it, the events are never fired. I've attached an example of it not working.

Replying to fracmak:

when you create an input using jquery: ex $("<input/>") and attach a focus or blur event to it, the events are never fired. I've attached an example of it not working.

The attached example (test.html) won't work as the focus event is not being attached to the created input, but rather the #insert element. This is because the append method doesn't return a jQuery object of the newly created elements. You could use appendTo to get the functionality you're seeking.
