getting focus() inside a content editable div on tab

There is a main content editable div that displays certain templates with placeholders (underscores) - inside of which there may be other divs, also editable. The inside divs have a class - lets call it highlight.
I'd like to be able to tab through to the divs inside and type away.
I've given the inside divs a tabIndex which makes them tab-able but I'm not able to type unless I explicitly click them. I'd like to be able to do this using the keyboard only.
PS I need a JS solution, not Jquery
Replacing the inside divs with an input/ or text-area works perfectly, except, I'd like to use divs or spans
From another stackoverflow page, I attached an event listener, checking if the div had the class I was looking for, I called .blur() and .focus() on it explicitly - but that doesn't work
// partial code relevant to the problem
function contentEdit(text) {
....
// replace placeholder text (underscores) with div
// and maintain line breaks
text = text.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, '<br/>')
.replace(/[_]+/gm, '<div class="highlight" tabindex="0"> </div>');
vm.content = '<div contenteditable>' + text + '</div>';
var ce = document.getElementById('contenteditable-div');
// tried this approach from stackoverflow
ce.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 9) {
if (e.target.className == 'highlight') {
e.target.blur();
e.target.focus();
}
}
});
.......
}
The blur/ focus block only fires on the second time that condition is true - so, not on the first time a div of that condition is encountered.
Because of the tabIndex, the browser seems as if it's putting the focus on the div when tabbing through (there is a border highlight on it) but the input events don't fire unless you click the div. This is not the case with an input or a textarea - for some reason, they too come into focus but also take key inputs.

Any ideas/ suggestions why the inner div can't accept keyboard events or how to get them firing?

Listen keyup (better timing than with keydown) on the parent only, it'll bubble up from the child elements. Then create a range to the focused element and set the cursor to its position. Something like below:
function moveCursor(e) {
if (e.key !== 'Tab') {return;}
var element = document.activeElement,
range = document.createRange(),
selection = window.getSelection();
range.setStart(element, 0);
range.collapse(true);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
element.focus();
}
document.getElementById('pad').addEventListener('keyup', moveCursor);
.ce {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
<div id="pad" contenteditable="true">
<div class="ce" tabindex="1"></div>
<div class="ce" tabindex="2"></div>
<div class="ce" tabindex="3"></div>
<div class="ce" tabindex="4"></div>
</div>

Can't hide other elements while clicking on another

I'm trying to make a toggle which works, but every element I click on creates a stack of these showed elements. Instead I'm trying to hide everything and display only element that I clicked on. Now I can only hide it when I click on the same element twice, which is not what I want. I want to click on one and hide previous ones that were showing.
.totalpoll-choice-image-2 is a bunch of images that always has to be shown. They are what the user clicks on to display hidden description under each image. That description shows up when I click on .totalpoll-choice-image-2. There are 5 images with that class. The next image I click on, I want to hide the previous description box.
My code:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var element = document.getElementsByClassName("totalpoll-choice-image-2");
var elements = Array.prototype.slice.call(Array.from( element ) );
console.log(elements);
jQuery(element).each(function(item) {
jQuery(this).unbind('click').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var id = jQuery(this).attr("data-id");
console.log(this);
//jQuery("#" + id).css({"display": 'block !important'});
//document.getElementById(id).style.setProperty( 'display', 'block', 'important' );
var descriptionContainer = document.getElementById(id);
var thiss = jQuery(this);
console.log(thiss);
console.log(jQuery(descriptionContainer).not(thiss).hide());
jQuery(descriptionContainer).toggleClass("show");
});
})
})

You can attach event handlers to a group of DOM elements at once with jQuery. So in this case, mixing vanilla JS with jQuery isn't doing you any favors - though it is possible.
I threw together this little example of what it sounds like you're going for.
The script itself is very simple (shown below). The classes and IDs are different, but the idea should be the same:
// Assign click handlers to all items at once
$('.img').click(function(e){
// Turn off all the texts
$('.stuff').hide();
// Show the one you want
$('#' + $(e.target).data('id')).show();
})
https://codepen.io/meltingchocolate/pen/NyzKMp
You may also note that I extracted the ID from the data-id attribute using the .data() method, and attached the event listener with the .click() method. This is the typical way to apply event handlers across a group of jQuery objects.

From what I understood based on your comments you want to show only description of image that has been clicked.
Here is my solution
$('.container').on('click', 'img', function() {
$(this).closest('.container').find('.image-description').addClass('hidden');
$(this).siblings('p').removeClass('hidden');
});

Also please mind your jquery version, because unbind() is deprecated since 3.0

You can use event delegation so that you only add your event handler once to the parent of your images. This is usually the best method for keeping work the browser has to do down. Adding and removing classes is a clean method for show and hide, because you can see what is happening by looking at your html along with other benefits like being easily able to check if an item is visible with .hasClass().

jQuery click event seems to be kind of late

I'm working on a Facebook reaction bar so it is pretty hard to copy the code here because it has a lot of events binded but all of you got facebook so if you want to check it by yourself - please do it.
The thing is that I managed to move the reaction bar under the react root and now I wanted to make the clicked reaction counter change the background color of itself to green.
And everything is working almost good excluding one thing: it is one click behind. To make you understand better I recorded little example how it looks. The red pulse ring appears when I click: https://vid.me/HqYp
Here is the changing code:
$(this).find('div._iu-[role="toolbar"]').bind('click',function(){
$(this).find('p.counter').each(function(){$(this).css('background-color','#48649F');});
$(this).find('span[aria-pressed="true"]').find('p.counter').css('background-color','green');
});
$(this) is div[id*="post"] so in $(this) I'm getting div with the whole post.
I thought that maybe I should use a callback function after changing-every-counter-to-default-color function but I don't know am I right and if it's right solution.
Thanks from above. (:

You can probably simplify this a bit. Although without the html structure I can't know for sure how the layout of the function works with respect to the event origin. Also I am not sure when the aria-pressed is set to true so I made the function a bit more generic. You simply add a data attribute to target the span you want to be targeted by the click.
<div class="_lu-" role="toolbar" data-target=".facebook-counter">
Later in your javascript you do the following
var $t = $(this);
var $t.target = $(this).data('target');
$t.on('click','div._lu-[role="toolbar"]', function() {
$t.find($t.target).css({
'background-color':'green'
}).siblings().css({'background-color','#48649F'});
});
This code is assuming first that your spans are in the same container, and second that the first $(this) refers to the parent container of this whole toolbar, and last that you have put data-target="" attributes with selectors for the appropriate target you want to affect.
This is a sample:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.toolbar').on('click','.toolbar-item .icon', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
if(!this.$) this.$ = $(this);
if(!this.parent) this.parent = this.$.parent();
if(!this.counter) this.counter = this.$.siblings('.counter');
this.parent.addClass('selected').siblings('.selected').removeClass('selected');
var count = this.counter.data('value');
count++;
this.counter.data('value',count);
this.counter.html(count);
});
});
.toolbar {
font-size:0;
text-align:center;
}
.toolbar-item .icon {
background:#FFF;
padding:30px;
border:1px solid #AAA;
border-radius:100%;
margin:0 20%;
transition:0.8s ease all;
}
.selected .icon {
background:#369;
}
.toolbar-item .counter {
background:#E0E0E0;
margin:0 10px;
transition:0.4s ease background;
}
.selected .counter {
background:#509050;
}
.toolbar-item {
font-size:10pt;
width:25%;
display:inline-block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="toolbar">
<div class="toolbar-item">
<div class="icon">Like</div>
<div class="counter" data-value="0">0</div>
</div>
<div class="toolbar-item">
<div class="icon">Wow</div>
<div class="counter" data-value="0">0</div>
</div>
<div class="toolbar-item">

As of jQuery 1.7 they introduced the .on('click', function().... method. Try that instead and see if you get the same results.

Quick answer without having tested or the time to test your code. I recently had a performance issue with a nested function, so maybe look at that second line with the .each() method.

stuck with onclick tried google couldn't find answer

i need help getting this to work, tried everything google had to offer.. but still stuck. what i need it to do is load the value of (div id="availablecredits") to (div id="beta") on click. can any body help me out?
onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('beta').value=(javascript:document.getElementById('availablecredits').value)"
i also tried onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('beta').value=('#availablecredits')"

The property value is common for input elements like <input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button>
I think what you want is to copy a content of a <div> element to another div. If it's the case, use innerHTML instead of value.
Here is a snippet, just click on the gray area.
#div-two {
min-height: 20px;
background: #CCC;
}
<div id="div-one">
Hello this is #div-one
</div>
<div id="div-two" onclick="document.getElementById('div-two').innerHTML=document.getElementById('div-one').innerHTML"></div>
SNIPPET #2
You've defined a third <div> which you use as trigger but you can't click it if it's not visible, because it's height is 0. Specify some text inside it, then it's visible and the JS part work. Take a look at the snippet.
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits" onclick="document.getElementById('beta').innerHTML=document.getElementById('availablecredits').innerHTML">Click here to get available credits</div>
SNIPPET #3 - jQuery
$('#getCredits').click(function() {
$("#beta").html($('#availablecredits').html());
});;
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits">Click here to get available credits</div>

Simple javascript function, change the ids in the function call to those of the elements in question.
<script>
function set_value( src,tgt ){
document.getElementById( tgt ).innerHTML=document.getElementById( src ).innerHTML;
}
</script>
<style>.p5{ display:block; padding:1rem; margin:1rem; border:1px solid black;}</style>
<div class='p5' id='src_div' onclick="set_value('src_div','tgt_div')">Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!</div>
<div class='p5' id='tgt_div'></div>
Or you can use a link to set the value

you should try to avoid writing inline event.try this:
<style>
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
</style>
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits">Click here to get available credits</div>
<script>
document.getElementById('getCredits').addEventListener("click",function(){
document.getElementById('beta').innerHTML=document.getElementById('availablecredits').innerHTML;
});
</script>
Why inline css and javascript are bad:http://robertnyman.com/2008/11/20/why-inline-css-and-javascript-code-is-such-a-bad-thing/

The .val() method is sometimes useful:
var input = $("#Input").val();

image moved with 1px above on click

So, I use this Javascript for hide - show effect:
function effect(id) {
var h = document.getElementById(id);
h.style.display = ((h.style.display != 'none') ? 'none' : 'inline');
}
HTML:
<div class="div">
<img src="http://i.imm.io/1jf2j.png"/>
Home
</div>
and CSS:
.div {
background: #000;
}
.div .url {
font-size: 17px;
}
Here you can test (and edit!) the code: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dhHiw
JSFiddle doesn't work for me.
All is good. Except when you click on image. It's moved 1px above. Should I use another image?
Where is the problem? And possible solutions. Thank you!

You are basically removing the text element. Since the <div class="div"> does not have a set height, it depends on the elements inside it. When the text is not displayed (display=none), the div will resize to only the image.
You can fix this by either setting a height for the div, or by setting visibility=hidden for the text instead of display=none. When making it hidden, it still has the same dimensions, but it's invisible instead.
