<p>I know there are functions for specific tags like option, checkbox etc.. but those are not the ones i am looking for.</p>

<p>So far i have tried those but not worked:</p>

<pre><code>jQuery('.es-nav-next, .es-nav-prev').click(function(){
    //    jQuery("btn btn-large btn-primary").focus();
    //  jQuery(this).stop(true, true).delay(600).hide().delay(600).fadeIn().blur();      
        jQuery("#falseselect").select();
        document.selection.emtpy();
    window.getSelection().empty();
    jQuery(this).blur();
    });
</code></pre>
