you can make a div
focusable if you add a tabindex
attribute.
see: http://snook.ca/archives/accessibility_and_usability/elements_focusable_with_tabindex
The tabindex value can allow for some interesting behaviour.
- If given a value of “-1”, the element can’t be tabbed to but focus can
be given to the element programmatically (using element.focus()).- If given a value of 0, the element can be focused via the keyboard and
falls into the tabbing flow of the document.- Values greater than 0 create a priority level with 1 being the most important.
UPDATE: added a simple demo at http://jsfiddle.net/roberkules/sXj9m/
