Question

I’m getting some strange happenings on google chrome. With the following code I’m getting an infinite number of alerts.

<input type="text" />

$('input[type="text"]').live('focus', function(event) {
    alert('in');
});

Firefox and IE8 are both fine.

Why is this happening in chrome?

Answer 1

I think, it’s because after you close the dialog (alert box), the focus returns on the textbox, therefore, the function will fire again.
