element onblur event doesnt fire when jquery slider handle is clicked instead of anywhere else on the page in firefox or chrome

Hi there,

I have a page with a select box followed by a jquery slider. I have a simple alert that fires onblur of the select box.

What I've found in practice is that the alert only fires when the html page is clicked after the select box NOT when the slider handle is used.

Oddly, when I run this at jsfiddle, everything works as I would expect (in all browsers):

When I run it on a test page you can see this failure in action.

So this is quite evidently a bug in jquery (no solutions have been posted or found by me). I've since found that it only affects chrome(11) and firefox (3.6) while ie (8) is fine.

link to forum post with the same issue.
