onblur event not working with google chrome

I am trying to use onblur event to close a window. Its开发者_运维知识库 working fine in IE, Firefox and safari, but the event does not trigger in chrome. is that a bug in chrome or a mistake from me

I realize this was over a year ago, but it showed up for me in Google while trying to solve this same issue.

It seems Chrome does not consider some elements, like body and anchors, to be "focusable". According to the following page, you can make any element focusable (thereby activating the blur event) by setting the tabindex attribute: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/blurfocus.html

Like so:

<a href="#" tabindex="0" onblur="alert('blur')"> blur me </a>

Just ran into this issue...

onBlur (with a capital "B") doesn't work, but onblur (lowercase "b") does. Go figure! ;-/

Chrome accepts OnBlur event. what i have experience is... on check or uncheck of checkbox, chrome do not focus on it.

Add attribute

onclick="this.focus()" onblur="yourMethod()"/>

you will see it work fine then.
