I've also run into a problem with the triggered blur.  I use the selenium
select command to change the value of a select box.  Problem is that this
select box has an onChange that redraws the page before blur is fired, then
the blur errors out on IE.  I'm fairly sure that it worked a month or so
ago, but this code has been broke since updating to the latest version of IE
6.

Everything works fine on Firefox.  But I still wonder if the blur should
always be fired.  Maybe a check could be made to see if the select box still
has focus?  I couldn't find a way to write this check myself.

Ideas?

Subject: [Selenium-devel] Why blur after triggered events?


Today I tried to use Selenium to automatically test this:
http://www.irian.at/myfaces-sandbox/inputSuggestAjax.jsf

It's an autocompleting AJAX input field.  (The implementation just 
suggests what you typed followed by numbers, so for "foo" it suggests 
"foo1", "foo2", "foo3", "foo4", etc.)

Immediately I ran into the problem that I couldn't trigger a keypress 
using Selenium.  I therefore stole FJH's code from here:
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SEL-143

This code seemed to work, but it forced the autocomplete control not to 
autocomplete, because at the end of every triggered event in 
selenium-browserbot.js, it ends the action by triggering a "blur" event on 
the control.  PageBot.selectOption, .replaceText, and .clickElement all 
come with automatic blurs at the end; FJH just reproduced this in his 
.keypressElement, .keydownElement, .mouseoverElement, and 
.mousedownElement.

Unfortunately, the AJAX autocompleter has logic that says: "If I still 
have the focus once the AJAX request is done, then display a nifty 
auto-completion list... otherwise, the user must be doing something else, 
so forget about it."  Since all of the PageBot triggered events blur 
immediately after action, the autocompleter never thinks it should 
autocomplete.

Commenting out the 'blur's seemed to do the trick, but I'm a little 
nervous about doing that.  Are these 'blur' actions good for me for some 
reason?  Does adding them fix a bug that I'm now re-exposing?
