Jquery Select Change Event - Lose Focus











up vote

I am creating floating labels for my select elements when a user selects an option.



<div class="jvFloat"><label class="placeHolder active" for="input_18_61">Salutation</label><select name="input_61" class="gfield_select newsel" tabindex="49" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false"><option value="" selected="selected" class="gf_placeholder">Salutation</option><option value="Miss">Miss</option><option value="Ms.">Ms.</option><option value="Mrs.">Mrs.</option></select>


However the floating label, only appears when the user selects another input or loses focus of the select element.



How could I use the Jquery select change event, to de-focus the select element, after the user makes a choice?



$('select').change(function(){

})
.change();

  • Not sure about that.. I have some other code inside the code I specified, and the 'change' event fires when the option is changed..
