Safari and onblur 1

[jimmyshoes]

Hi

The following code works in ff and ie but in Safari onblur will not fire on an anchor ( although it works on a textbox). Is there a workaround?

<a href="a.com" onclick="return false;" onblur="alert('blur')">lnk</a>

Hi

Just to clarify, you want this :
[ul]
[li]You activate the link - nothing happens[/li]
[li]After activating the link you move the focus elsewhere - the [tt]alert()[/tt] message appears[/li]
[/ul]
Well, I have no Safari, but your code works in Epiphany, Midori and Arora ( all powered by the same WebKit layout engine ).

However, I noticed an interesting behavior in Arora : when is activated with mouse, it not gets the focus. ( With keyboard it works as described above. )

If this is the same problem you tried to describe, try the following. This makes Arora to behave like the other browsers :

[b]<a[/b] [maroon]href[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"a.com"[/i][/green] [maroon]onclick[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"[highlight]this.focus();[/highlight]return false;"[/i][/green] [maroon]onblur[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"alert('blur')"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]lnk[b]</a>[/b]

If I misunderstood you please try to describe your goal.

That's solved the problem. I'm running Safari on Windows (to test my displays). All works great now. Thank you
