Jun 15.2011

i have this piece of code:

[CODE]
window.addEventListener( “focus” , function()
{
window.console.log(“focus”);
} , false );

window.addEventListener( “blur” , function()
{
window.console.log(“blur”);
} , false );
[/CODE]

and if i run : “setTimeout(“window.focus();”,2000);” from firebug’s console i get “focus” after 2 seconds but if i run “setTimeout(“window.blur();”,2000);” i don’t get “blur”.

could someone help me please? i don’t understand it … it should work 😕 …

@acestuffJun 18.2011 — I can imagine that the problem is you can't go blurring the user's browser whenever you want. Imagine if you had this on a website:
[CODE]
window.addEventListener(
"focus",
function() {
window.blur();
}
);
[/CODE]
would it mean that I could never get focus to my own browser?

Also, not all browsers support blur on the window element (IMO blur shouldn't be allowed on the window element - the only people who are going to find it useful are those making popups!)

In summary: I'd guess it doesn't work not because you're doing it wrong rather the browser doesn't like what you're doing.
