Given the following sample code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(":input").blur(function(){
alert("The input type is:" ); //How would this look??????
})
});
How can I detemine whether this is an input, select, text, etc?
This is not a real-world example but should suffice for the purposes of this question
$(this).attr("type");
See jQuery's Selectors/Attribute documentation for additional information.

Note that select, textarea, "etc" elements are not covered by $('input'). You probably rather want to use $(':input') to get them all.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(':input').blur(function(){
alert('The tag is:' + this.tagName);
if (this.tagName == 'INPUT') {
alert("The input type is:" + $(this).attr('type'));
}
})
});
$(this).attr("type");
for example:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").blur(function(){
alert("The input type is:" + $(this).attr("type"));
})
});
Why not go through and see what attribute/property would be most useful?
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").blur(function(){
for (var x in this)
alert(x + ":" + this[x]);
})
});
This should work...
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").blur(function(){
var type = this.type;
alert("The input type is:" + type);
})
});
