OnBlur vs. OnChange

[jerjim]

When do you use OnBlur and when do you use OnChange?

Thanks in advance.

onBlur - the handler invoked when a form element loses focus

onChange - the handler invoked when a form element's value changes

OnBlur deals with the item loosing focus. Example would be having the cursor in a text box (has the focus) and then clicking something else or moving focus to something else which would fire the OnBlur event.

OnChange deals with changing something about the time. Example would be to put a space, character, or number in a text box. Or to change the selection in a drop down box.

I hope this helps a little. //**********************************//

OnChange deals with changing something about the item...not time. Sorry about that. //**********************************//
