Is there a way to use event.preventDefault with focusOut? If not, why?

Question

I would like to prevent the default event from a focusOut (or blur) event and keep the focus set to the specific input field.

This is what I ha

Answer 1

inst.$target.on("blur", function() {
     if (!$.suggestBox.$divCont.hasClass($.suggestBox.mouseOverClassName)) {
        $.suggestBox.$divCont.css({'display': 'none'});   //reposition Suggestbox
        return true;
        } 
      inst.target.focus();
      return false;
         });

need to see your html. I don't think you are calling things correctly EX:

$.suggestBox I think should be $(".suggestBox") , but i cant tell without seeing your htnl
