Why is Onblur not working (JQuery/Javascript) -

-

i have following input field want pull suggestions when user types:

<input type = 'text' name= 'target' id='target' style='width:150px' onblur ='settimeout('removesuggestions()', 20);' onkeyup ='getsuggestions(this.value);'/>

there "suggestions" div below , using following javascript.

function getsuggestions(value){    if (value !=""){    $.post("target.php", {targpart:value}, function(data) {      $("#suggestions").html(data);     if(value.length>2){         docss();         }     });    } else {     removesuggestions();     }    }     function removesuggestions(){     $("#suggestions").html("");    undocss();    }   function addtext(value){        $("#target").val(value);    }   function docss(){   $("#suggestions").css({       'border' : 'solid',        'border-width': '1px'     });    }    function undocss(){    $("#suggestions").css({       'border' : '',        'border-width': ''     });   }

i figure when click outside field....the suggestions div should vanish or have more explicitly?

thanks!

your problem here: 

<input type = 'text' name= 'target' id='target' style='width:150px' onblur ='settimeout('removesuggestions()', 20);' onkeyup ='getsuggestions(this.value);'/>

for reason using single quotes surround attribute values, using surround function call in settimout(). when browser parses it, stops attribute @ 

onblur ='settimeout('

and js errors.

use double quotes surround html attributes. 

<input type = "text" name= "target" id="target" style="width:150px" onblur ="settimeout('removesuggestions()', 20);" onkeyup = "getsuggestions(this.value);"/>

also, that's not best way use settimout(). use anonymous function instead.

also, binding event listeners inline not best practice. instead use unobtrusive javascript. 

$(function(){     $('#target').blur(function(e) {         settimeout(function(){             removesuggestions()         }, 20);     });      $('#target').keyup(function(e) {         getsuggestions(e.target.value);     }); });

hope helps
