eventBubbling bubbles up in the HTML structure.

For example:

<form onClick="alert('This is the form')">
<input type="text" onClick="alert('This is the input field')">
</form>

This will result in that the onClick event on the INPUT field is
triggered first, then the onClick event on the FORM.
Since you can't nest INPUT fields, this is not a way to do it.

But if you want to trigger the onFocus event on every INPUT field, try
this:

function triggerFocus(){
var oForm = document.getElementById("theForm");
var arrAllInputs = oForm.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i=0; i<arrAllInputs.length; i++){
if(arrAllInputs[i].getAttribute("type") == "text"){
arrAllInputs[i].focus(); // Hence the onFocus
event is triggered...
}
}
}


/Robert

Hi All,
I need a script that automatically captures all the onfocus events on
all the input fields in a form. I heard that eventBubbling can be used.
Can anyone tell me how can we achieve this. Thanks and Regards Sowmindra
