focusout on any TextBox

Question

I want to call a javascript function on focusout of a textbox. I have quite a lot of TextBoxes so to prevent a listener for every TextBox is there any possibility of calling the same javascript method on any textBox focusout passing the value of the Textbox as an parameter?

I want to do this on client side and not on server side.

Answer 1

With jQuery, it's as simple as

$("input").focusout(function(){
    //Whatever you want
});

As pointed out by Milney, you probably want to interact with that specific textbox. To do this, you'd use "$(this)" as a selector.

$("input").focusout(function(){
    $(this).css("background-color", "beige");
});

Answer 2

The blur event occurs when the field loses focus.

Try this:

$("input").blur(function(){
 //alert("ok")
});

Answer 3

Use

$("input").focusout(function(){
  var tBval = $(this).val();
  console.log(tBval);
  
  // OR Call a function passing the value of text box as parameter
  //myFunction(tBval);
});
