Focusify : A jQuery plugin to visually enhance form elements
Focusify is a simple jQuery plugin for visually enhancing forms and form elements. Problems surface when there is a requirement to provide visual cues from interactions with form fields. Since CSS works from a top down, left to right hierarchy, there is no simple way to style an element that precedes, or is the parent of, an active field in the form. Focusify intends to resolve this issue by dynamically altering the class name of the related focused element, therefore providing a hook for the custom styling of the element’s states.
