Hi I have a div that contains three textboxes , i need a function to be called once the control is out of the div tag, I don\'t want to use the onclick event because the foc
I've used the following jQuery script in a similar scenario with 3 textboxes inside a div:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("jQuerySelectorToGetYourDiv").focusout(function (e) {
if ($(this).find(e.relatedTarget).length == 0) {
// Focus is now outside of your div. Do something here.
// e.Target will give you the last element within the
// div to lose focus if you need it for processing.
}
});
});
</script>
You can bind the onblur event handler to each of the input elements and check in the handler if any of them have focus (using document.activeElement).
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkBlur() {
setTimeout(function () {
if (document.activeElement != document.getElementById("input1") &&
document.activeElement != document.getElementById("input2") &&
document.activeElement != document.getElementById("input3")) {
alert("I am called");
}
}, 10);
}
</script>
<!-- ... -->
<div>
<input type="text" id="input1" value="Inside DIV 1" onblur="checkBlur()" />
<input type="text" id="input2" value="Inside DIV 2" onblur="checkBlur()" />
<input type="text" id="input3" value="Inside DIV 3" onblur="checkBlur()" />
</div>
<input type="text" value="Outside DIV" />
Or, instead, using jQuery could simplify the process (especially if you have a lot of inputs):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#theDiv input").bind("blur", function () {
setTimeout(function () {
var isOut = true;
$("#theDiv input").each(function () {
if (this == document.activeElement) isOut = false;
});
if (isOut) {
// YOUR CODE HERE
alert("I am called");
}
}, 10);
});
});
</script>
<!-- ... -->
<div id="theDiv">
<input type="text" value="Inside DIV 1" />
<input type="text" value="Inside DIV 2" />
<input type="text" value="Inside DIV 3" />
</div>
<input type="text" value="Outside DIV" />
EDIT: I wrapped the event handlers inside a setTimeout
to make sure that the other element had time to focus.
Perhaps an "onChange" event would better serve your needs. I can't think of a situation where the DIV would be clicked, and not the input fields.
You'll need to add tabindex=0 to the div in order for it to gain focus. So something like
<div tabindex="-1" onblur="Callme();">
should do it.
