I've got two input boxes in a div, I want to hide that div on the focusOut of the inputs, but only if both of them do not have focus.
This is a common Firefox problem (some call it adhering to standard), but the document body steals focus between.
<div id="baz">
<input type="text" id="foo" name="foo" />
<input type="text" id="bar" name="bar" />
</div>
// jQuery Example
jQuery(":input").focusout(function(){
// Don't do anything if one of the input boxes has focus
if( jQuery(":input").is( jQuery(document.activeElement) ){ return; }
// Hide the container if one of the inputs loose focus
jQuery(this).parents("div").css("display","none");
}
Though this is a common bug, I forget how I solved it in the past. I think it had something to do with setting a timeout, or doing a screen refresh, before checking for the activeElement
.
jQuery(":input").focusout(function(){
var elem = jQuery(this).parent("div");
window.setTimeout(function(){
// Don't do anything if one of the input boxes has focus
if( jQuery(":input").is( jQuery(document.activeElement) )){ return; }
// Hide the container if one of the inputs loose focus
elem.hide();
}, 0);
})
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var timeoutID;
jQuery(":input").focus(function () {
window.clearTimeout(timeoutID);
}).focusout(function () {
timeoutID = window.setTimeout(function () {
jQuery("#baz").hide();
}, 0);
});
});
