Jquery Unfocus

Have a form with just one password field tag, and as I use palceholder, I don't want to have automatic input focus. How can I set no focus at all within jquery?

Thanks, Markus

Answer 1

I'm not fully clear on what you need, but I think you're looking for something like this:

$("input").blur();

That will remove the focus from any input element that may have it.

Answer 2

You can disable the field. $('input.my-input').attr('disabled', true); Then re-enable it when you want to allow input (on click or whatever). You'd have to use some CSS (.my-input:disabled { ... }) to make sure the browser doesn't grey it out.
