/*
In Internet Explorer window.onblur event is implemented incorrectly (as opposed to Firefox/Mozilla browsers). It is wrongly fired when focus is switched between HTML elements *inside* a window.
Suppose you're trying to automatically close a popup window when focus is switched to another (main) window (a common task). As a result of the described bug, clicking on any element *inside* a popup window or trying to select something there will also close a popup.
