blur( )
Triggers the blur event of each matched element.
This causes all of the functions that have been bound to that blur event to be executed, and calls the browser's default blur action on the matching element(s). This default action can be prevented by returning false from one of the functions bound to the blur event. The blur event usually fires when an element loses focus either via the pointing device or by tabbing navigation
