Focus event
- occurs when you click on or tab to an element
- related to the
autofocus attribute, which puts the focus on an element as soon as the user lands on the page
Blur event
- occurs when a field loses focus. E.g. if you click an input then move away. Can be used, for example, to trigger validations.
