Is there a jQuery unfocus method?
How can I unfocus a textarea or input? I couldn't find a $('#my-textarea').unfocus(); method?
Solution 1:
$('#textarea').blur()
Documentation at: http://api.jquery.com/blur/
Solution 2:
Based on your question, I believe the answer is how to trigger a blur, not just (or even) set the event:
$('#textArea').trigger('blur');
Solution 3:
Guess you are looking for .focusout()
Solution 4:
I like the following approach as it works for all situations:
$(':focus').blur();
