After pressing enter I would like that only the keyup event be fired but blur is fired first. How to cancel blur when
It has been brought to my attention than rather then providing hints I should give more complete explanations and code examples, so here it is: there is always the cheap way of setting a external variable:
var triggerBlur = true;
$(".textbox")
.live({
blur : function () {
if (triggerBlur) {// if not preceded by keyup 'Enter' event
alert("blur Event fired");
}
// reset variable to true to allow the blur event to be triggered subsequently when not preceded by keyup 'Enter' event
triggerBlur = true;
},
keyup : function (event) {
if(event.which === 13){ // Detect Enter
alert("KeyUp fired after pressing Enter");
triggerBlur = false;
}
});
Also it's preferable to use event.which rather than event.keyCode (see http://api.jquery.com/event.which/ to understand why), and it is recommended to use the identity operator '===' rather than the equality '==' in javascript, as the latter is broken (see Which equals operator (== vs ===) should be used in JavaScript comparisons?)
