using :focus pseudo class on li or other element else than a,input,button, etc

Question

Is it possible to select an element that is focused, like a:focus or input:focus, but on the other element, such as div, li, span or else?

If it\'s not possible, ho

Answer 1

That's simple: just add a tabindex attribute to the elements which normally don't receive focus.

Answer 2

You can't focus list items. Not even using a script. I've tried doing $("li:first").focus() but it doesn't do anything. CSS doesn't get set as if it was focussed. This simply means that you either can't focus list items or that :focus pseudo classes don't work on list items.

Put anchors inside list items

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">...</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">...</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">...</a></li>
    ...
</ul>

This will seemingly focus your list item but it will actually focus anchor tags.
