title: How to use Firebug when debugging Javascript entailing focus/blur event handling
body: <p>I'm trying to use Firebug to debug some Javascript that entails blur and focus event handling, specifically some auto-complete/look-ahead functionality.  The issue is that, merely by clicking on the various tabs within Firebug, such as &quot;Console&quot;, &quot;Script&quot;, &quot;DOM&quot;, etcetera, the <code>blur()</code> event in my application is being fired, and then the focus() event when I subsequently click back in the text field that auto-complete is being driven by.  The fact that these events are being unnecessarily being fired when trying to interact with Firebug, makes the debugging itself problematic if not well nigh impossible.</p>
  <p>Has anybody else encountered this Catch 22, and/or does anybody have solutions/suggestions?</p>
