DOM .blur() jQuery 1.8.3 .blur() jQuery 1.9.0 .blur()

As you can see in the Console, if you use either the "native" .blur() DOM method or jQuery ≥1.9.0, the textbox has already blurred by the time the onblur event handler has been called; but if you use jQuery ≤1.8.3, the textbox is still focused while the onblur event handler is running.

(Tested in Chrome 48, Safari 8.0.8, and Firefox 41, all on Mac OS X 10.10.5.)
