Here’s a tough one… anyone?

Or at least I think it’s tough.

I have an onSelect event in my code, relating to a textarea, but I can’t find how to get an on[B]De[/B]Select event. That is, I want some code to activate when the selection is lost.

Is there anyway – direct or inventive – to do this?

Thanks in advance.

@batfinkJun 08.2004 — Would onBlur work for you?

Reckon I might try some hybrid of onMouseUp and a condition to check for whether any text is selected or not. That wouldn't work for selecting via keyboard, though (shift + cursors).

How about onChange?

Success!
