DOM Traversal Methods

Event Methods
The blur event is sent to an element when it loses focus. Originally, this event was
only applicable to form elements, such as . In recent browsers, the domain of
the event has been extended to include all element types. An element can lose focus
via keyboard commands, such as the Tab key, or by mouse clicks elsewhere on
the page.
For example, consider the HTML:
Trigger
The event handler can be bound to the first input field:
$('.target').blur(function() {
$(this).log('Blur event was triggered.');
});
Now if we click on the first field, then click or tab away, the message is displayed.
We can trigger the event when the button is clicked:
$('.trigger').click(function() {
$('.target').blur();
});
After this code executes, clicking the Trigger button will also display the message.
.change()
Binds an event handler to the change JavaScript event, or triggers that event on
an element.
.change(handler)
.change()
