I want to detect when the input box gets focus from the user. You'd hope something like

$("#myInputID").click(function(){…}); or
$("#myInputID").focus(function(){…});

would work, and it does, but the code also gets run when you click on an item in the results list. I don't want to know that.

The reason I want this is because I have a particular input box where the user is only allowed to have one item at a time. If they click back in the input box, I want to be able to clear it for them.
