From MSDN "[focusin] Fires for an element just prior to setting focus on that element." focusout doesn't sound too useful "[focusout ]Fires for the current element with focus immediately after moving focus to another element. " So quite close to blur, though blur fires just before firing focus on the new element. I think we may want to have an event which fires before focus has moved to anywhere. Need to test how all the focus handling events work in IE and elsewhere; when does the cursor actually move to the new place etc. -Olli
