Click focused another window on IE8

[tmcconechy]

Hi!
Something strange is happening when focusing the control in IE8. Please try the following:

-Open any window such as outlook
-Open IE8.
-Position the IE8 window and the second window so that they overlap and are same size
-open the demo page: http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-selectBox/
-click into any of the listboxes...

Note when you click in the other window will focus. If you press refresh and try again each time on the first click the other window will focus.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Tim

exactly the same issue with IE 8 (using JQuery 1.7.1)

Damn, I've seen this before in the first version of this plugin but I can't remember what caused it (this was during my pre-GitHub days). I'll try to tackle it again.

You can't call body.blur() in IE without causing this issue. Get the unminified version of the javascript and then find this line:

$(document.activeElement).blur();

Change it to:

if (document.body != document.activeElement)
{
$(document.activeElement).blur();
}

Nice. Can anyone confirm that this indeed solves the problem? If so I'll get it in there.

Yes, This seems to fix it. Thanks!
