Is there a jQuery unfocus method

Question

How can I unfocus a textarea or input? I couldn't find a $('#my-textarea').unfocus(); method?

Answer 1

jQuery focusout() Method

The focusout() method attaches a function to run when a focusout event occurs on the element, or any elements inside it. Unlike the blur() method, the focusout() method also triggers if any child elements lose focus. Tip: This method is often used together with the focusin() method.

Answer 2

$("#my-textarea").trigger("blur");
