.focus() bug in IE

[goetsu]

I have tried to do : <a id='contentsection' onfocus='alert('toto');'></a>

and with jquery : $("#contentsection").focus();

I don't show the alert box in IE (6and 7 at least). It work well with firefox. I don't know if it's a jquery bug or if it's because of the ie keyboard bug ​http://juicystudio.com/article/ie-keyboard-navigation.php

Just a quick note, it might be safer to change your quotes up. For example: "alert('toto')", or 'alert("toto")'.

If that fixes it, please close.

onfocus='alert('toto');' is invalid Javascript/HTML.
