IE9 Window Loses Focus due to jQuery Mobile

Question

In our product, we\'re using the most recent development version of jQuery Mobile in our ASP.NET website. Each and every time we do an ASP.NET postback, the browser window goes

Answer 1

This same issue seems to occur with jQuery Mobile 1.4.2.

When using IE 10, with a single tab open and another window on the same monitor, if you open a popup it will send the browser to the background.

To fix this you have to edit the _handleDocumentFocusIn function. You need to change the line(10391) that reads:

target.blur();

to

if (targetElement.nodeName.toLowerCase() !== "body")
{
    target.blur();
}

I made a pull request so hopefully this will be included in the next version.
