JAVASCRIPT ONBLUR EVENT
The javascript onblur event handler is used to trigger a script or action when an element loses focus. The onblur event calls the action from the following elements:
<a>
<area>
<button>
<input>
<label>
<select>
<textarea>
Example:
<input type="text" onblur="alert('Jeepers! I\'ve been touched');"><br>
<input type="text" >
The above example will output Jeepers! I've been touched when you click away after being in the first text box.
The onblur event can also call a function as follows:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function touchme ()
{
alert('Jeepers! I\'ve been touched');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" onblur="touchme();"><br>
<input type="text" >
DEMO:
Click on the first text box below, then click outside the text box or the second text box to see the effect.
