Answer 1

Because alert is getting the focus from your text box, and on closing the alert dialog,focus gets back. If you do any non focusing mechanism inside your function , it will trigger only once : http://jsfiddle.net/G8CmV/

Test:



 $('input[type="text"]').live('focus', function(event) {
    $('#tester').html( $('#tester').html() + "_*" );
  });
