Question

I would like for a text box to disappear if a person clicks out side of it (.focusout or .blur) but I also want to be able do the same function if Esc is pressed (key 27). I am not sure how to get both to be recognized without ruining my entire script.

Answer 1

You can bind both events to the same function with

$(selector).bind("blur keyup",function(e){...})

And then it’s just decision logic to see if it was a key that was pressed or whatnot.
