Input field is not focusing when clicked

I have an <input> field inside a div that is giving me trouble.
It is inside a div with position absolute. When I click on it, it does not get the focus, so I cannot type inside it.
The other parts of an input field work as they should: The cursor changes to the text symbol when over it, I can focus on it using the right-click with the mouse or the Tab key and when it DOES get focus I can type on it normally.
I even binded a console log to it when clicked, just to make sure the the correct element being clicked. The log does happen, but it still doesn't get the focus on clicking.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be happening here?
Edit: added more parts of my code, sorry for having such little code before.
Here is my code:
// link that makes the form appear, on another part of the UI
jQuery("#link").on("click", function() {
jQuery(".form").show()
})
jQuery("#close-button").on("click", function() {
jQuery(".form").hide()
})
// This was added to test if the click was happening,
// it does not work with or without this
jQuery("#input-field").on("click", function(e) {
console.log("clicked")
console.log(e.target) // this is returning the "input-field" element
})
.form {
background-color: #EAE8E8;
position: absolute;
width: 99%;
right: 0;
z-index: 100;
bottom: 0;
display: none;
border: 1px solid;
}
#close-button {
float: right;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* input-field doesn't have any CSS defined by code yet */
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="link">Click to show form</button>
<div class="form">
<!-- this has position: absolute -->
<img src="'/close.png" id="close-button">
<!-- Here are some other images that can be clicked... that all works fine -->
<input id="input-field" />
<!-- this is not getting focused when clicked -->
</div>

You might add .focus() to autofocus your desired input. Here is your example:
jQuery("#link").on("click", function() {
jQuery(".form").show()
// Add to auto focus your input
jQuery("#input-field").focus();
})
jQuery("#close-button").on("click", function() {
jQuery(".form").hide()
})
.form {
background-color: #EAE8E8;
position: absolute;
width: 99%;
right: 0;
z-index: 100;
bottom: 0;
display: none;
border: 1px solid;
}
#close-button {
float: right;
cursor: pointer;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="link">Click to show form</button>
<div class="form">
<img src="'/close.png" id="close-button">
<input id="input-field" />
</div>

try this. I think this is what you are excepting but I'm not sure since you keep editing your question.
Demo Link: http://plnkr.co/edit/n7rdgqTwiFrXtpgoX4TQ?p=preview
$('#myclick1').click(function(){
$('#mypop2').show();
});
$('#myclick2').click(function(){
$('#mypop2').show();
});

You have couple of things mixed up.
The main stop-point was the very first event listener
$('#mypop').click(function(e) {
which is incompatible with the rest of listeners
$(document).on('click','#myclick1',function(e){
after I have changed it to
$(document).on('click','#mypop', function(e){
the other listeners have started working.
Second thing is that for embedded elements (parent-child) you need to stop event propagation, otherwise the parent event is triggered as well (which is not desired)
$(document).on('click','#myclick1',function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
:
});
I have also changed the CSS a bit and added class hide to use instead of styles. Toggling this class is what hides and shows an element.

CSS property update not working with mouse click

i am trying to implement accordion.
My accordion should expand on mouse hover on the "accordian head".
And also mouse click on "accordian head" should show/hide the accordion-body.
I got the show/hide working through CSS on hover.
But when i club mouse click event , the functionality is not working
here is the sample
http://jsfiddle.net/yf4W8/157/
.accordion-body{display:none;}.accordion:hover div{display:block;}

you need to change
myDivElement.style.display = none;
myDivElement.style.display = block;
to
myDivElement.style.display = "none"; //double quotes are missing
myDivElement.style.display = "block"; //double quotes are missing
Demo

I have created a working demo, please check the link below not it is working on mouse click. Replace your JavaScript code with this and remove the css properties.
function expandAccordionBody(){
var myDivElement = document.getElementById("accbody" );
var cStyle=window.getComputedStyle(myDivElement, null);
if(cStyle.display=='block'){
myDivElement.style.display='none';
}else{
myDivElement.style.display='block';
}
}
Demo

I took a liberty to change your code a bit. This code works.
Hope that this is what you meant to do....
Instead of using pure Javascript I used jQuery event click and hover.
here is the link for working code

HTML code;
<div class="accordion">
<div class="headA">
Head
</div>
<div id="accbody" class="accordion-body">
Body
</div>
</div>
CSS code;
.accordion {
border: 1px solid #444;
margin-left: 60px;
width: 30%;
}
.accordion:hover div {
display: block;
}
.accordion-body a {
background-color: green;
display: block;
color: white;
padding: 25px;
text-align: center;
}
.headA a {
text-align: center;
display: block;
background-color: yellow;
padding: 25px;
}
jQuery code;
$(document).ready(function() {
// on page load hide accordion body
var accordionBody = $('#accbody');
accordionBody.hide();
// first make on click event happening
// when user clicks on "Head" accordion "Body will show up"
$('.headA').click(function() {
if (accordionBody.is(':hidden')) {
accordionBody.slideDown(400);
} else {
accordionBody.slideUp(400);
}
});
$('.headA').hover(function() {
if (accordionBody.is(':hidden')) {
accordionBody.slideDown(400);
} else {
accordionBody.slideUp(400); // turn this off if you want only to slide down and not back up
}
});
});

Blog / Message - How do I fix that empty message divs will piling on / next to each other and make the close button work?

So I'm making a sort of blog posting system or TODO list, however you want to call it.
I want that the following can happen / is possible:
[Working] The user types something in the textarea
[Working] The user clicks on the button.
[Working] A new div will be created with the text of the textarea.
[Working] The textarea will be empty.
[Not Working] The user has got the choice to delete the post by clicking the 'X' on the right side of each '.post' div.
BUT: If I click on the button when there's nothing in the textarea, there appears an empty div, with only an 'X' close button, no background color either. They appear on the same line as the previous message, so you can get a lot of 'X's next to each other.
AND: Clicking the 'X' close button doesn't do anything. No errors in Firefox console.
If it's not clear enough, run this JSFiddle, click the button and I think you'll understand what I mean:

}
.close-post {
margin-right: 10px;
float: right;
color: red;
cursor: pointer;
}

You appear to have two issues:
1) You don't want a post to be created if the textarea is empty
Simple fix . . . check to see if it is empty, before calling the logic to add the new post (and use jQuery's $.trim() to account for only blank spaces):
$('#button').click(function() {
var text = $.trim($('#poster').val());
if (text !== "") {
$('#posts').prepend("<div class='post'>" + text + "<span class='close-post'>×</span></div>");
$('#poster').val('');
}
});
2) The 'X' buttons are not closing the posts
This also should be a pretty easy fix . . . the reason that they are not working is because the 'X' buttons don't exist when the page is loaded so $('.close-post').click(function() { is not binding to them on page load. You will need to delegate that event binding, so that it will apply to the 'X' buttons that are dynamically added after the page is loaded.
Now, not knowing what version of jQuery that you are using (I can't access jsFiddle from work), I'll point you to the right place to figure out the correct way to do it: https://api.jquery.com/on/
If it is jQuery 1.7 or higher, you would do it like this:
$("#posts").on("click", ".close-post", function() {
$(this).parent().hide();
});
If your version is earlier than that, then investigate the jQuery .delegate() and .live() methods to determine which is the right one to use for your code..

Try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#button').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var text= $('#poster').val();
if (text === '') {
alert('Nothing to post!');
return;
}
$('#posts').prepend("<div class='post'>" + text + "<span class='close-post'>×</span></div>");
$('#poster').val('');
});
$('#posts').on('click', '.close-post', function() {
$(this).closest('.post').fadeOut();
});
});
JSFiddle

The way you are doing this, the user will only ever see what they are posting - if you're trying for a chat type where users talk to each other then you will need to store what is being typed on the server side and refresh the screen using something like ajax
but in response to your question, you need to bind the close click like this:
$( "#posts" ).on( "click", ".close-post", function() {
$(this).parent().hide(); // $(this) is the clicked icon, the way you did it above wouldn't as if it had the dollar, it would close all .close-post parents
});
See the part about delegated events: http://api.jquery.com/on/

show/hide will not load

When clicking the "see more" the text does not expand. How come? Thanks
HTML:
<div id="wrap">
<h1>Show/Hide Content</h1>
<p>
This example shows you how to create a show/hide container using a
couple of links, a div, a few lines of CSS, and some JavaScript to
manipulate our CSS. Just click on the "see more" link at the end of
this paragraph to see the technique in action, and be sure to view the
source to see how it all works together.
<a href="#" id="example-show" class="showLink"
onclick="showHide('example');return false;">
See more.
</a>
</p>
<div id="example" class="more">
<p>
Congratulations! You've found the magic hidden text! Clicking the
link below will hide this content again.
</p>
<p>
<a href="#" id="example-hide" class="hideLink"
onclick="showHide('example');return false;">
Hide this content.
</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>​
Javascript:
function showHide(shID) {
if (document.getElementById(shID)) {
if (document.getElementById(shID).style.display != 'none') {
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'none';
}
else {
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'block';
}
}
}

margin: 0 auto;
padding: 1em;
background-color: #fff;
}
h1 {
font-size: 200%;
}
/* This CSS is used for the Show/Hide functionality. */

Live DEMO

You're calling showHide from the HTML window, but showHide hasn't been defined yet. Just include the showHide function in a <script> block in the HTML window, and it will work. See my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HGbSX/1/
The additional problem with having to click twice to show the additional content has to do with your logic. The first time you come through, the display for that element is not set to none as you expect, but to an empty string, so it's re-hiding it. You can correct this by reversing your logic, and looking for display='block'. See my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HGbSX/2/

I have corrected a small bug that it needs 2 clicks to start the functioning. Just replaced != 'none' has been replaced with == 'block'. Also, in JSFiddle, you had chosen wrong setting under the 'choose framework'. It should have been 'head no wrap'.
http://jsfiddle.net/EMEL6/12/
Also a very simple way to achieve the same:
function showHide() {
$('#example').toggle();
}

The code is correct; the reason it is not working is because the way you have the jsfiddle set up. On the right side where it asks for a framework/where you want your JS to show up, you have jQuery and onLoad (the defaults, I believe) - this makes it so that the resulting code of your fiddle looks like this:
<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
$(window).load(function(){
function showHide(shID) {
if (document.getElementById(shID)) {
if (document.getElementById(shID).style.display != 'none') {
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'none';
}
else {
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'block';
}
}
}
});//]]>
Which means you are defining showHide within the anonymous function of jQuery's load event. If you change the first dropdown to 'no wrap (head)' it will leave your JavaScript alone and your onclick will be able to see the function as defined.
