jQuery focus/blur on form, not individual inputs

Question

How could this be achieved via jQuery?

When the user clicks on any input in the form, it is focussed. When a user clicks out of the form from any input it is blurred

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

var check;

$('form input').focus(function()
   {
    clearInterval(check); // remove setinterval if any
    // do something because the form is being used
   });

$('form input').blur(function()
{
    check = setInterval(function()
    {
        // do something because the form is not being used
    },500); // half-second delay
});

It's not the sexiest solution, but checks for if no focus in your form occurs after .5 seconds. Hope this helps.
