jquery desktop blocking input and textarea

Question

I'm trying to modify this: jquery desktop

by adding a input field inside one of the windows. However, I can't type anything into the input. I opened firebug and the classes are flashing when I click the text input so I'm guessing that's what's blocking it. But I don't know how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

In his very long article, do a page search for 'Cancel mousedown'. You'll see he's canceled any mousedown event that's not a link. That's what you'll have to alter to make it usable. You could either delete the whole thing (the point was to bind a context menu, which he ended up not doing) or add input as an exception like a is.
