Spectrum, option showInput, show a input text not editable

I have implemented a Spectrum color Picker, it works perfectly, except for the showInput option which makes the text input not editable, it is not even selectable, it does not even focus on itself. If I select the color, however, the hexadecimal value appears in the input, so it works halfway. But I can't select it to manually set the hex value I want it to have.
This is the Jquery code :
$("#divPickerColor").spectrum({
showInput : true ,
preferredFormat: "hex",
showButtons: false,
allowEmpty:true
});
this is the html code :
<script id="configurazioni-inserimento-modifica-stato-avanzamento" type="text/template">
<div>
<form id="formAddStatoAvanzamento" role="form" action="/" method="POST"
data-parsley-validate>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div id="colorazione" class="col-lg-12">
<input type="text" id="divPickerColor" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</script>
This script is called by a function to display it on a modal.
The tour is complex and I can't post all the code to you, I tried to put the main nodes in it. What I can say further is that I have looked at the CSS properties of the input, it has no disabling properties. I also tried to forcibly put them with JQuery in the console but nothing changed. The input generated by Spectrum is not editable and has no focus on itself.
I add that I have tried the same code in an html page outside my application, everything works perfectly. I think it's something related to the fact that this portion of html is included in a script. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

As #BugCatcherJoe wrote at the question comment, the answer is at the next link:
https://github.com/bgrins/spectrum/issues/161
The solution that works for me was removing 'tabindex=-1' from the modal attributes.

Why do I get this <br> element in a contenteditble div?

I have a div element that looks like this
<div id="test" contenteditable="true" style="height: 17px;">
</div>
When I do $("#test").html(), I'd expect to see an empty string returned, but in fact, it gives me <br>.
Why would there be a <br> even if I haven't put any there in the div?
Edit: Actually, in between the div tag, I have a Struts2 property tag which outputs a value but this value populated in the backend is empty so I was not expecting to see <br> there.

It's look like strange issue, As far my experience it can be due to these stuff
It may be html tags are not closed
You may have some browser extension which some time do these type weird stuff
so try to disable all extension and check all html tags also try in incognito mode after disable extension, I think it may help you for debugging this issue.

There is space between <div ...> and </div>.
Also spaces will be detect by HTML but only one by one. The weird thing is that you got
<br>
as output I just got nothing as in the fiddle.
Here like in my fiddle you can detect if #test is empty if not you can see the result.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($('#test').html() !== "")
$('#console').text($('#test').html());
else
$('#console').text('empty');
});

JQuery .trigger click event not working under IE

I am using the following code to route click events on an img tag to an input radio below it. The code works perfectly on Chrome and other browsers, but on IE (specifically IE 11) I must double click to get the radio selected instead of just single click to get the radio input selected. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, missing here? Thanks
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Img1').click(function() {
$('#radio1').trigger('click');
});
});
</script>
<div class="imagesPrev col four center">
<label class="label_radio images" for="radio1">
<div class="labelText">
<img id="Img1"src="image1.gif" alt="Image 1" />
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio1" value="image1"/>
</div>
<div style="height:10px;"></div>
Image Title <br/>
</label>
</div>
Notes:
- I also noticed that I don't have to double click as normal double click, but it has to be two clicks. Meaning one click then I can wait for like 10-15 seconds then do the 2nd click to get the click event routed to the radio input.

You should use .prop(); when dealing with checkbox/radio inputs.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Img1').click(function() {
var checkBox = $("#radio1");
checkBox.prop("checked", !checkBox.prop("checked"));
});
});

Have you tried using a label tag with a for attribute for this feature instead, this could solve your problem and be more browser compatible.
<label for="radio1"><img id="Img1"src="image1.gif" alt="Image 1" /></label>
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio1" value="image1"/>
I can understand if this doesn't achieve what you need, but using this method should work using HTML markup instead of jQuery
relatively horrible jsfiddle demoing this:
http://jsfiddle.net/andyface/d25KS/

I remember that some version of IE don't support clicking objects other than links or buttons :(
Perhaps try using:
$("#radio1").checked(true);
or
$("#radio1").selected(true);
as a work around

Just simple, you don't have to use any Jquery for this, just keep everything inside the label:
<label for="radio_btn">
<img id="img"src="image1.gif" alt="Image here" />
<input type="radio" id="radio_btn" name="radio1" value="image1"/>
</label>
Working here: http://jsfiddle.net/fals/3phf4/

Your code example works fine in IE11 (desktop and metro). Is it possible that there is another click event on the page that is capturing and preventing the click event on the image? Maybe something is causing the page to lose focus (first click gets window focus second clicks the image)? Try putting an alert in the click function to see if the click is getting registered. If that's not the issue, try running the body of the function in the console to see if that is the issue. You might try other ways to trigger the event, as suggested by others. Or try the jQuery .triggerHandler("click") method.

I think your problem may be with your markup. You have your image and click events inside a label.
According to w3schools:
"...if the user clicks on the text within the element, it toggles the control."
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp
That toggle is perhaps messing with your javascript. Try moving the markup outside of the label and see if that helps.

That's an easy one :).
The #img1 is encapsulated inside the
<label class="label_radio images" for="radio1">
So, without the jQuery part it's already working. Now when having the jQuery part, a single click will become a double click:
1) 'for' element of label_radio
2) the trigger in jQuery part
So, for x-browser, you should not wrap the img inside the label.
Or try to cancel the event in $('#Img1').click(function(event) { ...

You have both your img and radio wrapped in label.
HTML's default behavior is that click on label triggers radio/checkbox inside.
There are two ways you can solve your problem:
Remove javascript function altogether.
If there's additional reason for javascript, change your html markup, and move radio outside of the label. Also remove for attribute, cause it triggers radio selection. Something like this:
<div class="imagesPrev col four center">
<label class="label_radio images">
<div class="labelText">
<img id="Img1"src="image1.gif" alt="Image 1" />
</div>
</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio1" value="image1"/>
<div style="height:10px;"></div>
Image Title
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click','.Img1',function()
{
var checkBox = $(".radio1");
checkBox.prop("checked", !checkBox.prop("checked"));
});
</script>
<img class="Img1" src="image1.gif" alt="Image 1" />
<input type="radio" class="radio1" name="radio1" value="image1"/>

I am facing the same issue and its very weird .... the workaround that is working for me is that instead of using the trigger function .. put the code which is executed in the trigger click event in a javascript function and call that function instead of trigger event ... example is given below.
For this example i will use an alert in case of a click on the element with id radio1.
Event definition
$('#radio1').on('click',function () {
alert("Hi");
})
So Instead of using $('#radio1').trigger('click'); we can put the alert in a javascript function and call the javascript function where ever i am calling the trigger click event.
Javascript function
function triggerClick(){
alert("Hi")
}
and just call this function(triggerClick()) where ever you are using $('#radio1').trigger('click');
Please let me know if this is helpfull

Try to use .click() instead of .trigger('click'):
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Img1').click(function() {
$('#radio1').click();
});
});
</script>
it should work, see here for more info

jquery before() is out of order?

I have a page where you can click a link that says "add a keyword" and an input will appear and you can enter the keyword, and then convert it into a span tag on blur or the "return" key. However, I've been adding onto it to allow for an "autocomplete" feature, so I'm trying to insert a
<ul></ul>
after my input in order to do a .load inside the list.
The relevant code I have is:
var addKeywordId = 0;
$('a.add_keyword').live('click', function(){
$(this).before('<input type="text" class="add_keyword" id="addKeyword'+addKeywordId+'" /><ul><li>hi</li></ul>');
$('.add_keyword').focus();
addKeywordId++;
});
The problem is, that my HTML structure ends up looking like this:
<ul><li>hi</li></ul>
<a class="add_keyword">+ add keyword</a>
<input id="addKeyword0" class="add_keyword" type="text />
INSTEAD OF
<input id="addKeyword0" class="add_keyword" type="text />
<ul><li>hi</li></ul>
<a class="add_keyword">+ add keyword</a>
Anybody know why my HTML is added out of the order I specified??
Thanks
EDIT: This seems to be working fine in Google Chrome, but not in Mozilla Firefox.. :(

This is likely due to the weird rejiggering of code Firefox does to try to display things even when there are errors. I've seen it where I miss a closing div, IE freaks out (as it should) and Firefox looks fine, as it ignores that you missed adding the ending div and guesses.
You could try a 2 stage thing. I would add an id to the ul tag, then add the input before it.
$(this).before('<ul id="ulid"><li>hi</li></ul>');
$('#ulid').before('<input type="text" class="add_keyword" id="addKeyword'+addKeywordId+'" />');
Happy haxin.

Chrome Javascript Error

Have a look at this link.
The menu to the left is not clickable in chrome (When you open in new tab, it works fine), but works fine in Mozilla.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to correct this.

Your menu not using Javascript to detect click events it is anchor tag. You will notice that in a webkit browser hovering over the link does not provide a pointer cursor.
Eg:
<a style="background-color:red;" href="/stores/unwrapindia/products/1/Artisan/2/Happily-Unmarried/65/New-Year/78/Promotions-">
<div class="fillDIV">
<input type="checkbox" name="attribute_value_44" value="44" class="CheckBoxClass" id="CheckBox1">
<label class="LabelSelected" for="CheckBox1" id="Label1">Chandigarh</label>
</div>
</a>
The problem could that the input is conflicting with the anchor tag in regards to the click event, because webkit is a bit confused about the div inside the anchor or you need to clean up your ID's. I do not see the reason for your using of the input and label, so at least test it with just the anchor.

The label elements within your links have a for attribute (which refer to hidden checkboxes). Something like:
<input type="checkbox" id="cb1" />
<label for="cb1">mooooo</label>
The link does not work once you set that attribute.
To fix your problem, simply remove the attribute - it does not benefit you anyway (having the checkbox checked is not helpful as you are navigating away from the page).
Here is an example.

My solution is add inline javascript code to tag A
onclick="document.location.href=this.getAttribute('href');"
Note
In html specification, an A element is not allowed to contain a DIV element, you can refer to
