shift focus to a div through css alone

Question

Is there a way to shift focus to a div by default through pure css and not using javascript?

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

No CSS does not offer anything on focus. I know you said no JavaScript, but how easy:

document.getElementById('div').focus();

Answer 2

No, it isn't.

In normal circumstances a div can't receive the focus at all, and CSS lacks anything to set the focus.

Answer 3

although it depends on what you're trying to achieve, you could apply a :hover pseudo-class on a div if you want to visually highlight it.
