Do you have any function to disable ONBLUR Event ?

It is not possible to prevent events from firing; the browser will always trigger them. And there is no simple way to detach an event handler from a widget like how you described.

If you have code that runs in the Profound UI "onblur" event that you would want to disable sometimes and not other times, I would recommend having that "onblur" code check a global boolean variable before running. You could set that variable in your "onfocus" event.

e.g. in onfocus:

Code: Select all

window.mydisableOnblur = true;

and in onblur:

Code: Select all

if (!window.mydisableOnblur){
  //do something
}
window.mydisableOnblur = false;
