If the following secuence of events ocurrs, blur just doesn't work.
1.- Set focus to a input type=text control.
2.- Issue a XMLHttpRequest call to the server.
3.- In response to onreadystatechange event call obj.blur().
You will notice that the caret keeps blinking.
The work arround is quite simple yet hard to figure out. You just add the following code after obj.blur()
window.focus()
This is true for IE7, I don't know yet if the problem still exist on IE8 and if it does, I don't know there's a work arround.
