jQuery blur event not fired for table cell
Question
I'm loading a table dynamically using jQuery ajax, the rows of the table has "contenteditable=true", I'm trying to listen on blur event for every cell, so that it triggers a function to update that cell dynamically. The problem is that the event blur isn't fired at all, I've tried different selectors(table,tbody, and finally the whole document), but all in vain.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src='jquery-1.8.3.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href='jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.css' type="text/css">
<?php
include './datatable_include.php';
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$.ajax({//create an ajax request to load_page.php
type: "GET",
url: "load_table.php",
dataType: "html", //expect html to be returned
success: function (response) {
$('#dataTable').find('tbody').html(response);
initDataTable('#dataTable', null);
}
});
});
$(document).bind("blur", "td", (function () {
// this code isn't reached
alert("ahoo");
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var name = $(this).attr("name");
var message_status = $("#status");
var value = $(this).text();
$.post('update_table.php', "id=" + id + "&" + name + "=" + value, function (data) {
if (data != '')
{
message_status.show();
message_status.text(data);
//hide the message
setTimeout(function () {
message_status.hide()
}, 3000);
}
});
}));
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="dataTable" width="700px" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>ID</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

try
$(document).bind("td").blur(function()
{
});

seems that table td isn't a standard focusable element so you can't blur it. try to add the tabsindex property to each td
<td tabindex="1">focus on me</td>

the definition of bind function is as follows:
.bind( eventType [, eventData ], handler )
so, you should do:
$('td').bind('blur', function(){
//event handler statement goes here
});
And as mentioned by @paul roub in the comments above, you should be using live() function, as you are creating the td elements dynamically.
$('td').live('blur', function(){
//event handler statement goes here
});
