    Is there a way to fire javascript in a table onBlur?

    I have a table that has elements in it (inputboxes, checkboxes, comboboxes) and right now I have an onBlur in each element that runs a script to update the value of the elements to the database. To be more efficiant I wanted to see if I could update the database when the user leaves the table rather than each element in the table. I tried to do a test with the onBlur of the table but it didnt fire so I was wondering if it was even possible... anyone know?
    Thanks

    I imagine that the triggers are reserved for form elements, since a table won't really ever have focus, much less loose it.

    Sorry, this page helps more...

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#events

    onfocus = script [CT]
    The onfocus event occurs when an element receives focus either by the pointing device or by tabbing navigation. This attribute may be used with the following elements: A, AREA, LABEL, INPUT, SELECT, TEXTAREA, and BUTTON.

    onblur = script [CT]
    The onblur event occurs when an element loses focus either by the pointing device or by tabbing navigation. It may be used with the same elements as onfocus.
