focusin event

Categories: Events > Form Events | Forms
Bind an event handler to the "focusin" event, or trigger that event on an element.

.on( "focusin" [, eventData ], handler )Returns: jQuery

Description: Bind an event handler to the "focusin" event.

This page describes the focusin event. For the deprecated .focusin() method, see .focusin().

The focusin event is sent to an element when it, or any element inside of it, gains focus. This is distinct from the focus event in that it supports detecting the focus event on parent elements (in other words, it supports event bubbling).

This event will likely be used together with the focusout event.

Example:

Watch for a focus to occur within the paragraphs on the page.
