Make focusout event ignore some elements


In the code below if you click on <input type="text" id="one" /> and a "red block" appears. If you focus out then the "red block" disappears.

How do I make it so that focusout wont fire if "red block" or <input type="text" id="two" /> are the next focused elements?

Demo

JavaScript

$('#one').focus(function () {
    $('#divRemove').show();
});

$('#one').focusout(function () {
    $('#divRemove').hide();
});

$('#divRemove').click(function(){
    alert($(this).text());    
});

HTML

<input type="text" id="one" />_______
<input type="text" id="two" />
<br/>
<br/>
<div id="divRemove" style="width:100px;height:100px;background:red; display:none;">remove on focus out</div>

Solution

  • You can put the focus on both #one and #two

    $('#one,#two').focus(function () {
        $('#divRemove').show();
    }).focusout(function () {
        $('#divRemove').hide();
    });

    Update

    You can't really focus a div unless you give it a custom index like this with tabindex="0"

    <div id="divRemove" tabindex="0"
    

    and then in jQuery do this

    $('#one,#two,#divRemove').focus(function () {
        $('#divRemove').show();
    }).focusout(function () {
        $('#divRemove').hide();
    });
