If an item can be focused upon, the focus can also be blurred, which simply means the focus is lost on an item. The onBlur Event Handler allows an alert to let a user know that he or she is leaving an input box. Here is the code to do that:
HTML file:
Displayed by browser:
<body>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="40"
onBlur="alert('You are leaving this input box - Are you sure you want to do that?');">
</FORM>
</body>
The user must click into the input box, and then off that box, to trigger the alert pop up window.
