I can only point you to an open issue about adding focus/blur event handling at the Window level: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=68 AFAICT the only missing thing is someone to take the time to put it all together, as the issue page gives all the necessary information to implement it reliably in all supported browsers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
