I have an autosuggest drop down and when I click it, my onblur from my input field remove my autosuggest box with...

 

search_field.onblur = function()

{

general_search.hide();

}

 

But if I click a suggested item in the drop down I don't want the onblur to be executed.

 

Any idea how to do this?

what is supposed to happen when you click on one of the suggestions? im assuming that it doesnt go to a new page

Judging by the hide() call I'm guessing you're using jQuery? Hopefully so, as the has() method makes this real easy. Give this a try:

 

search_field.onblur = function()
{
    var curr_target = null;
    var autosuggest = $('#id_of_autosuggest_box');

    if (event.toElement) {
        curr_target = event.toElement;
    } else if (event.relatedTarget) {
        curr_target = event.relatedTarget;
    }

    if ($(this).has(curr_target).length == 0
     && autosuggest.has(curr_target).length == 0) {
        general_search.hide();
    }
}

 

Make sure you change the ID.
