Go into textfield and input a character. The debugger show you:
$( document.activeElement ) => work, node found + attribute you can read
$(":focus").css("background-color","red") => work
$( ':focus' ) => not work, no node found
Why? Any solutions?
In API doc it's say $( document.activeElement ) is the $( ':focus' ). Only a performance difference.
