Fun a Script on Field exit

[Chris Christou]

Does anybody know if it is possible to run a script when a user moves out of a field.

I have for example a global search field on and currently the user has to enter their search key words into the field and then click the search button which run the search script.

What i would like to do is have that happen when the user presses enter which then exits the filed.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

there are plug-in's that will do it. (including the sample plug-in I'm told) Not that I have ever used them.

I think I would just put the search button in the tab order, change the behavior on the search field so Enter advances to the button, and Enter on the button will search.

net result: user has to press "enter" twice

Take a look at eventscript or some other plugin. you can trigger the script upon exit of the field
