Here's the screecast:
http://screencast.com/t/UtSsSCtdX

As you see, if you activate another window, onBlur event gets called, but if you activate another tab in the same window, onBlur event  isn't called.

Firefox works perfectly in that sense. You can confirm it in the screencast:

}

function onBodyBlur() {

}
</script>
  </head>
  <body onBlur="onBodyBlur()" onFocus="onBodyFocus()">
  </body>
