11,110 PointsWhy not use focusout event?
My first attempt at this project involved me writing essentially the same code as in the video, except I used the focusout (as shown below) event instead of using focus and keyup.
$("#password).focusout(function() { }
It seems to work just as well. Is there any reason not to do something like this? I know that by creating the function, he is able to reuse the code for both focus and keyup, which may be why he chose to do it that way. But is focusout just as effective for something like this?
Thanks,
Jeremy

keyup and focus are entirely different.
Take a look at these links and you'll know what to use and what not to. Good Luck mate.
