Get the clicked object that triggered jquery blur() event [duplicate]

by

The trick is to wait an extra tick:

$(el).blur(function (event) {
    // If we just hangout an extra tick, we'll find out which element got focus really
    setTimeout(function(){
       document.activeElement; // This is the element that has focus
    },1);
})
