When you run this code and click input2, it will get the focus and .result div will output "f2" once. But when you click input1, the script will let input2 get the focus and .result div will output "f2" twice, why?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>blank</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".input1").click(function(){$(".input2").focus();});
$(".input2").focus(function(){$(".result").html($(".result").html()+"f2, ");});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<input class="input1" value="click me to set the input2's focus" />
<input class="input2" value="input2" />
<div class="result"></div>
</p>
</body>
</html>
This is a known jquery bug :

IE incorrectly calls the focus twice.
