Hi every one i have one simple textfiled with focusout event and button with click event. Now when i entered some text in textinput and when clicks on button , according to me two events shoud be dispatched at a time ( plz correct me i am wrong ), one textfield focusout and second button clicks event. but for some reason it dispatches only one event i.e focus out ca any one tell to to resolve this problem i want to dispatch both events @ the same time here os code sapmle. Hi Parkash, Normally you would get two events, but your test example actually stops the second event from happening! If you click the button (without entering a text field) you get "1" in the Alert box -as expected. If you put the cursor into a text field, and then click the button you get "2" in the alert box - as expected, but a second alert box doesn't appear with a "1" in it - unexpected. The reason is described in this abstract from the documentation about the "click" event: "For a click event to occur, it must always follow this series of events in the order of occurrence: mouseDown event, then mouseUp. The target object must be identical for both of these events; otherwise the click event does not occur." When you click on the button after putting the cursor into the textinput, at the start of the click the mouse is down over the button - this causes the text to lose focus and fire an event - so the Alert box is presented. By now the mouse is no longer over the original button and so the mouse down/mouse up sequence is broken for the button because a modal dialog has popped up so the click event is never fired. If you replace the alert boxes with trace statements and run it through the debugger, you'll find it works as you expect it to..
