Blur

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The blur method is used to remove the focus (ie make non-current) the object that it belongs to. Giving a text field the blur will move the cursor to the next field. Giving a window the blur will move it behind all of the others. This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called blur but if you do then you will not be able to use this method to control which object is current.
Examples: window.blur();
