Question

How would i trigger an event when the user clicks inside the text field below.
The problem I have is the only tag I can add id/class to is the

which sits outside the actual form field.

<p class="trigger">
<input type="text" name="test">
</p>

I don’t want a generic trigger on input tag this is not suitable

$(input).focus(function() {
  alert('triggered');
});

it really needs to be associated with the p class ‘trigger’
any help would be fantastic

Have you tried

$('.trigger input').focus(function() {
  alert('triggered');
});
