title: jquery focus does not trigger css focus
body: <p>There seems to be a problem when setting focus to an element using jquery. It apparently does not trigger the :focus css property set on an element.</p>
  
  <p>For example in my css I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>div.item1:focus { border:2px solid red; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my jquery I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("div.item1").focus();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The focus is set but there is no red border applied to the element.</p>
