The blur actually does work. All I needed the blur to do was not show that box around the clicked link.
I have now completely reconfigured this script. I think I was making it too difficult. This now works in IE: $(function(){ bindResults = function(){ $('#sbmsdata_1 a').click(function(){ $('#sbmsdata_1 img').attr('src','/images/sbms/folderclosed.gif'); $('img', $(this).parent().prev()).attr('src','/images/sbms/folderopen.gif'); var linkval = $(this).attr('href'); $(this).blur(); $('#sbmsitems').load(linkval, function(){ $('a', this).click(function(){ $(this).blur(); return false; }); }); return false; }); } var openfolder = 'none'; loadSubjects = function(scope){ $('a', scope).click(function(){ $('table#sbmsdata_1').remove(); $('#sbmsitems').empty(); if($(this).is('.sbmsopen')){ $(this).removeClass('sbmsopen'); $('img','#sbmsdata_0').attr('src','/images/sbms/folderclosed.gif'); } else{ $('img','#sbmsdata_0').attr('src','/images/sbms/folderclosed.gif'); $('a','#sbmsdata_0').removeClass('sbmsopen'); var linkval = $(this).attr('href'); $.post(linkval, function(j){ $(placement).append(j); bindResults(); }); $(this).addClass('sbmsopen'); var placement = $(this).parent(); $('img', $(this).parent().prev()).attr('src','/images/sbms/folderopen.gif'); } $(this).blur(); return false; }); } loadSubjects('#sbmssubjects'); }); On 6/4/07 12:43 PM, "Benjamin Sterling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Shelane, > First, you should be able to chain a few of your functions, ie: > $(this).unbind().click(function()... > > Secondly, I may be misunderstanding the purpose of the .blur function but I > don't think it will work the exact way you are using it: > > "Note: This does not execute the blur method of the underlying elements!
