Javascript : Detect the source of an event

Hi

 

I would like my function to detect the source of the event (onFocus vs onBlur) as in the sample script below.
Is it possible ?

I just spent more than an hour in the Acrobat JS documentation, I did not find anything and I have itchy eyes ...

 

myFunction() {
if (event is onFocus) {// blablabla;}
else if (event is onBlur) {// blebleble;}
}

 

Thank you

Check event.name and event.type.

"Check event.name"

 

Got it!

Thank you

Try event.source.name ... Keep in mind that event.source is sometimes null (for example, when resetting the form), so check for that first.

Have the event pass this info in a parameter.
