[jQuery] Re: onblur Firing Ahead Of onclick

Hi bob,

So it works exactly how I would expect that it should work.
1. the focus is taken from the input, so you get a blur event
2. the submit button is clicked, so you get a submit event

How about simply ignoring the blur event if you don't use it?
If you use it for data validation you would want do to it BEFORE you
submit the form, so the order
1. blur event -> data validation, set validation flag to true / false
2. submit event -> submit form if validation flag is true
makes sense for me.
