Introduction

JSBlur was written purely out of annoyance on why it was farily difficult to define a "blur" sort of event for DOM elements, like divs or modals, that behaves correctly.

Dependencies

• jQuery

How to use

JSUtils is an object that is instanciated to the public variable as window.jsutils. The main method of this object to register a blur event takes 3 arguments, defined below.

• @param {object} selectorToRegister The jquery selector to be registered for blur events
• @param {boolean} unregisterAfter Should the selector be unregistered after being blur'd so it's not listened for anymore. Set to true for auto-generated elements that should registered each time generated
• @param {object} callback An optional callback to be executed when the provided selector is blur'd

Also, if you want any click from within the registered DOM element to close it's registered container, simply add the class 'closable' to it.

  <button class="closable">Click Me</button>

or, simply hit the escape key

Examples

• Basic example

    jsblur.registerBlurEvent($('#divName'));

• More verbose example

    jsblur.registerBlurEvent($('#divName'),false,null);

• How to use with an element that is dynamically created & removed from the DOM

    jsblur.registerBlurEvent($('#divName'),true,null);

• Example with a callback

  var callbackFunction = function(){
    alert('element blurred');
  }
  jsblur.registerBlurEvent($('#divName'),false,callbackFunction);
