           Summary: retain focus after unintentional onblur to allow
                    directional pad navigation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: caryclark at google.com


Android uses a directional pad to move focus spatially, and interprets the
directional pad center button as a mouse click on the center of the current
focus. 

http://tools.arantius.com/stopwatch
includes this:
<div id='main'>
        <button type='button' onclick='ss()' onfocus='this.blur()'>Start /
Stop</button>
        <input type='text' id='disp' />
        <button type='button' onclick='r()'
onfocus='this.blur()'>Reset</button>
</div>
So, when using a directional keypad to gain focus on the Start or Reset button,
the onfocus attribute removes the focus. This patch ignores the part of blur
which clears the document focus if the element does not have an onBlur
attribute.

I'm not particularly proud of this fix, but don't have an alternative. What can
I do to improve on this patch?
