The onblur event for <div> or <table> is not working
while it is working for <input checkbox, text> fields

<div id="abc"  
	onblur="onblur();">
	<table style="border-top: none;color: black; border="0"  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" onblur="onblur();">
				<tr ><td width="100%"><span> Addresses</span></td></tr>
</table>
</div>

What are your expectations when you have not assigned an event action to the onblur event?

onblur=onblur(); doesn't do anything.

div elements do not support the onblur event. So, while JRMKER is correct in pointing out your method is wrong, even if it was correct it would not work.

@doWhileSomething: I will have to respectfully disagree, a DIV does indeed have an onblur event (scroll down to DIV Methods & DIV Events), but you are correct in the OP needs to attach an event, onblur = onblur(); does nothing

I see the article, however I've never seen it used anyplace. Do you have any examples? I myself have a need for this functionality.

I don't see how it can have/support an onblur event when it can't maintain focus. Again, not trying to argue the point, I will gladly stand corrected. I've never seen it used.

I did some tests and I guess I stand "partialy" corrected.

IE will support onblur events on a div tag, while none of the other 3 major browsers do. In IE, it was spotty at best, and seems to only raise the onblur event when you either tab or give another element focus.

My appologies for giving such a literal statement, however support for this event on divs is specific to just IE and not very reliable.

In fact I have given calling area only and I have onblur() function in the javascript it is working for table and not for div.
function onblur(){
if(document.all.show.value == "0"){
document.all.multiDropDown.style.visibility = "visible";
document.all.show.value = 1;
} else{
document.all.multiDropDown.style.visibility = "hidden";
document.all.show.value = 0;
}
}
