I have this sample code:

$myTrigger
    .click(function(e){
         alert('click');
    })
    .focus(function(e){
         alert('focus');
         $(this).click()
    })

The intent is that I want something to happen when you click on $myTrigger. If, on the other hand, you tab onto it via the keyboard (ie, focus) I want the exact same thing to happen, so I ask it to click.

The catch is if I click on it, it also focuses. So both alerts are going off.

Is there a way to prevent the focus event from going off when clicking?
