Name

Input.onblur: the handler invoked when a form element loses focus — DOM Level 0

Synopsis

Function onblur

Description

The onblur property of an Input object specifies an event-handler function that is invoked when the user or the program transfers keyboard focus away from that input element. Calling blur( ) to remove focus from an element invokes onblur for that element. Note also that calling focus( ) to transfer focus to some other element causes the onblur event handler to be invoked for whichever element currently has the focus.
