I have the following code:
HTML:
<input type='text' class='a' />
<div class='inst' tag='a'></div>
<input type='text' class='b' />
<div class='inst' tag='b'></div>
<input type='text' class='c' />
<div class='inst' tag='c'></div>
JS:
$(function() {
$('.inst').click(function() {
alert($(this).attr('tag') + ' clicked');
});
$('[type=text]').focus(function() {
show_inst($(this).attr('class'));
}).blur(function() {
//hide_inst($(this).attr('class'));
});
function show_inst(tag) {
$('div.inst[tag=' + tag + ']').html(tag + ' instructions');
}
function hide_inst(tag) {
$('div.inst[tag=' + tag + ']').html('');
}
});
CSS:
.inst {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 10px;
cursor: pointer;
}
It works fine: when inst
is clicked I see the alert message, and when the input becomes focused the instruction appears.
Now I want the not relevant instruction to disappear on blur. So I tried to add the commented line inside blur()
. It does not work like that because blur()
is called first and removes the instruction, so if I click on the instruction - nothing happens.
How could I solve this?
