usually when i register a keyup handler using jQuery, i can prevent the browser taking its normal action by calling preventDefault() on the incoming event.

however this doesn't seem to work with the tab key. the code behind the enclosed URL registers a keyup handler and also focus and blur handlers for all input tags. with the focus in the page, pressing tab should cause the keyup handler to fire first, then the input field should get focus *only* if i *don't* call preventDefault() on the event.

however, in today's WebKit nightly (and FF, btw) the focus event handler fires first, then the keyup handler. IMHO, this isn't right.
