Hi,

I was looking at a 'placeholder' fallback script that a colleague of mine had 
written (using jQuery as an aid) and I was confused as to why jQuery's .blur() 
and .focus() events were being triggered even though the interaction required 
is for a user to click in/out of relevant input fields.


An example of the script is below (it is inserted at the bottom of the page, so 
has no need for utilising the DOMContentLoaded event - I mention this only on 
the off chance it has any relevance to the cause)...


jQuery('[placeholder]').focus(function() { alert(1); }).blur(function() { 
alert(2); }).blur().parents('form').submit(function() { alert(3); });


...I noticed that '2' would be alerted twice (there are two input fields in the 
page with a placeholder attribute).


Does anyone know why jQuery would cause this behaviour?


Many thanks.


Kind regards,
