Basically I need to check if the value is changed in a textbox on the \'blur\' event so that if the value is not changed, I want to cancel the blur event.
I don't think there is a native way to do this. What I would do is, add a function to the focus event that saves the current value into a variable attached to the element (element.oldValue = element.value). You could check against that value onBLur.
