Wow. Pastie rocks: http://pastie.caboo.se/47296
So, you can see in that code on line #4 an attempt to force the counter
to observe focus events. Currently, it's just an anonymous call to the
alert("hi") function but it never fires. I left the CSS out of it, but
suffice it to say that the background positioning is used to control the
look of the div.button elements so that they have an off, over, and
pressed states like a button. Using them provides the basic
functionality of a numeric counting widget like you can find in various
incarnations (e.g., flash, python, etc.) but is lacking for web sites.
Not sure if I really need the code to work; it was just an exercise.
So, the needs are this: (1) to determine why, in the code linked above,
the focus action is never fired for the counter elements and (2) once
the event is firing, change it from an alert event to simply blur the
focused field.
Thanks for taking a peak!
