I have an image slider that slides automatically. Because I'm nice, I want to ensure that it doesn't continue to slide when the user has a different window/tab focussed.
What events fire when leaving a tab/window, and which fire when returning?
+1
A:
When leaving: blur When entering: focus
- Additionally, the following can happen:
- click: when the user clicks on the window to get focus
- mouseover: when the user moves over the window
- mousedown/mouseup: related to clicking
- keyup/keydown: Pressing a key (e.g. ctrl + tab)

So if I triggered the slider to stop on when window is blurred and start when window is focussed, it should work?
