exit event

Description

Initiates when the field or subform loses keyboard focus, whether caused by a form filler action (tabbing to another field or clicking outside it) or by a script programmatically removing the focus.

Note: If the purpose of your script is to manipulate the value of the current field, you need to consider attaching your script to the calculate event.

Example

You can use this event to provide verification of field data as a form filler moves the focus away from a field. For example, if a field requires a value, you can use this event to provide a message to the form filler indicating that the field requires some data before the form can be submitted.

For a detailed example of using the exit event, see Highlighting fields in response to form filler interaction.
