Usage of .focusOut()
A jQuery focusOut
event fires when an element or its descendants in jQuery lose focus. The .focusOut()
method adds an event handler to the focusOut
event.
In the example below, you will see no changes as you select an input field. However, when you click somewhere else, the field loses focus and changes its color:
To specify a function to be run when the specified element or its children lose focus, use this syntax:
$("selector").focusout(function)
.focusOut() vs. .blur()
Beginners sometimes confuse jQuery focusOut
and blur events, since both of them fire when an element in jQuery loses focus.
If the element has no descendants, there is actually no difference between the two events. However, if there are children elements and they lose focus, the focusOut
event will fire, and blur
will not.
Note: if you don't specify any parameters, the method will simply trigger the event.
