How to prevent an element from losing focus?

Question

How to keep the Focus on one textbox ? even if you click anywhere in a browser.

$(\"#txtSearch\").focus();

Answer 1

You need to subscribe to the blur event of the textbox and reinstate focus with a small timeout:

$('#txtSearch').blur(function (event) {
    setTimeout(function () { $("#txtSearch").focus(); }, 20);
});

This way you don't rely on subscribing to the events of any other element on the page. If you subscribe to body click or html click, it won't run if any other element prevents propagation of its click event, also it won't work when tabbing out of the textbox.

Example:

Click me
