Text box focusout event and enter issues in IE9

I have a text input and one button of type submit adjacent to the input. I have bound focusout event-handler to the input and click event-handler to the button. Now when I focus on the input and then press enter, the focusout event-handler gets triggered and the buttons-event handler gets triggered. I want to trigger focusout only when text box focus is lost. What should I do ?

Code :-

 <div >
     <span>Local Currency: </span>
     <input type='text' id='txtFocusElement'  />
     <button id="btnClickElement" >
         <span> Add new line</span>
     </button>
 </div>

I used selector as:

 $("#txtFocusElement").bind("focusout", function() {
      console.log('focusout');
 })
 $("#btnClickElement").bind("click", function() {
      console.log('click');
 })

and written above code in one function which I call at the time of loading document.

Its IE9 issue with the HTML button tag.

So we should try it with HTML input tag with attribute type as button.

above code can be rewritten as :

<div >
     <span>Local Currency: </span>
     <input type='text' id='txtFocusElement'  />
     <input id="btnClickElement" type="button" value="Add new line" />
</div>

Using this my problem gets solved .

Try to attach to a mouseup event instead of click, that is the only solution I see for now

You can also add a check for mouse button which was pressed, so it wouldn't fire if user would press a right button

var ClickElementEventHandler = function(e) {
    if (e.which != 1) return;
    //your code
};

$("#btnClickElement").bind("mouseup",ClickElementEventHandler)

You could try to change the selector to input[type=text]. This will only get triggered when you focus out on a text field.
