var hasFocus = !! ($elem.find(':focus').length > 0);
Detecting child focus with focusout jQuery event, setTimeout is required to wait for next element in the DOM to receive focus:
$focusElem.on('focusout', function() {
var $elem = $(this);
setTimeout(function() {
var hasFocus = !! ($elem.find(':focus').length > 0);
if (! hasFocus) {
// Handle blur here.
}
}, 10);
});
