Do DIVs have a onblur handler?

[laredotornado]

Hi,

What handler would I set on a particular DIV if a user mouses out of
that DIV or clicks outside of that DIV?

Thanks, - Dave

Provided that you mean event handler attribute: `onmouseout'.

or clicks outside of that DIV?

None, the click has to be handled by an element at a higher level in the
document tree.

I usually try onfocus and onblur if i want to catch clicks out side a
div.

I usually try onfocus and onblur if i want to catch clicks out side a
div.

As not all elements can be focused, the `focus' and `blur' events do not
apply to all elements. In fact, per W3C DOM Level 2 Events those events
only apply to LABEL, INPUT, SELECT, TEXTAREA, and BUTTON (that may be
different in other DOMs); HTML 4.01 specifies the `onfocus' and `onblur'
attributes only for A, AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, LABEL, SELECT, and TEXTAREA.
So you would need such an element "out side the div".

I guess that is why the OP asked in the subject whether or not "DIVs have
a onblur handler" ...
