ViewsSafari: focus event doesn't work on button element
The focus event works fine on all browsers but Safari when it has been clicked.
And it works fine on div[tabindex] element, but don't work on button or input:button element.
It also can get the focus event when I use $('.btn').focus().
Why does the focus event haven't triggered on click ?
Here is my code:
$(".btn").focus(function (e) {
$(".result").append("<p>Event:"+e.type+", target:"+e.target+"</p>");
}).result{min-height:200px;border:1px solid #000;}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="btn">button 1</button>
<input type="button" class="btn" value="button 2"/>
<div class="btn" tabindex="0">div element</div>
<h1>

<div class="result">

Why does the focus event haven't triggered on click ?
We found through research that Safari and FireFox on Macs do not set focus on buttons when you click on them.
The way we fixed that was to add a click listener to our buttons and call focus() on the button that was clicked.
In Angular it looked like this:
<button (click)="myClickFunction(); $event.target.focus();>My Button</button>

See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13724
This is working as intended on MacOS. Clicking a button, radio button, or checkbox doesn't give the element focus- thus it can't lose focus and trigger a blur.
The solution is to give it a click event that gives the element focus.
